It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.”

That is why I fear America is lost...too many people are ignorant or stupid enough to put men such as Obama into power.

That's a play on the old Marcus Tullius Cicero quote:

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.

Exactly.

It is for this reason that I doubt that any real or lasting “revolution” will take place this November. The moral strength needed to stay the course - assuming that a major shift to the right takes place at all - is rapidly fading from the citizenry. The same people who elected this fool are expected to now reverse the unfolding catastrophe that is overtaking the nation.

I have several relatives and friends that voted for Obamao and are now deeply regretting it - however, the fact that sane and supposedly rational, intelligent people could get suckered by this narcissistic serial liar is more troubling to me than the idiots who will vote like idiots regardless of who is running.Hitler came to power in much the same way.

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America

Here are three of the root causes of our national epidemic of ignorance: (1) a heavily biased, left-wing media, (2) an insidious "educational system" that indoctriates rather than teaches, and (3) an amoral movie industry that trashes American values at every turn.

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
