And this posted a bit ago:
We must bear in mind, however, that Iran is AT BEST, still a decidedly Islamic nation.
As long a Sharia is the standard for governing, there will NEVER be real freedom or consistent progress.
Obama seeks to do something similar in the U.S.
He seeks to "take us off the gold standard" in a governance sense. Instead of having laws and ethics backed up by something of solid and lasting value (the Constitution), he wants us to be governed by whatever seems best to him for the moment.
That method has been the SOP of history, and has never worked to any degree over time--certainly not the way the Constitution has worked as a guide since it's inception.
Nonetheless, Obama and his Liberal Ideologues, in their infinite wisdom, are hell bent in imposing it on us.
