Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts.How very "today."
Speaks right to Obama.
Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?But then here is where Obama fits in nicely:
Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not...Great post, thanks.
Too many Americans have become beasts as free will is what separates us from beasts and is predicated on reverence of the truth. Deference to truth over our emotions is what protects us against those of ill-will as they can't hide behind obfuscation and defamation.
