Human beings are distinguished from animals by the capacity to act rationally. Humans are able to look at the world and form universal ideals of what is true, beautiful, and good. We possess the marvelous power to act in a way that reflects our intellectual grasp of this truth, beauty and goodness. Human beings who consistently act according to internalized ideas that conform to what is really true and good are principled.
The election of a soundly-principled candidate in 2012 is necessary if we wish to avoid the final erosion of the essence of America. Our country is currently informed, in the philosophical sense of the word, by a “principled” President. Obama’s actions do flow in perfect, logical consequence from his ideas about the nature of the world around him. The problem is not with Obama’s logic, but with his principles. The lecture of Dreams From My Father establishes as indisputable fact that Obama is a Marxist and that the dearth of truth, beauty, and goodness progressively manifest in our country is the material manifestation of erroneous Marxism.
The 2012 GOP Presidential Field offers an array of candidates who claim to espouse “conservative principles” and that they will act in consequence of them if elected. When applied these ethics, rather than those on the Socialist/Marxist continuum, lead to more freedom and economic prosperity.
The catastrophic state of the nation requires that we vote like human beings. If ever in our lives we behaved in the booth like a herd-beast committing emotion-induced mob dereliction of reason, we do so again next November at the peril of destroying our future as free Americans.

I misread that headline, so maybe I need lessons... :(
I disagree. Most (wild) animals are far more rational, and less emotional than humans. If a snake is hungry it logically decides to go hunting.
I am confident that Sarah Palin will bring honor and dignity back to the White House. Those qualities will also be translated to governance.
Do that and libs will call you bigoted.
Yes, animals are rational. They believe in life and act rationally to preserve it. Can the same be said for Libs?
