But don't you understand that issues are much more complicated than that. You can't boil down weighty problems of everyday life to a bumpersticker slogan or a soundbite. Ivy League-strength intelligence is needed to nuance blah, blah, blah.

I crack myself up.

In life, I've observed that truth is never complex, but untruths are exceedingly difficult to comprehend. Whenever I hear liberals complain that conservatives are somehow engaging in subterfuge of some sort for attempting to cut to the chase, or to simplify an issue, I understand where that's coming from.

To the libs, I would say that, yes, the most vexing problems of the modern-day world have childishly simple solutions, but it takes real courage to confront them. It takes even more courage to stand on a national stage and speak that truth, simple as it is.

Those who can, stand on the Mt. Olympus of history.
