A friend shared this quote with me in light of the Brown Victory and the message that it should send to Obama and the Democrats. I thought it worth sharing here.

Obama is not an intellectual in any real sense of the term. The MSM crowns Dem presidents from Woodrow Wilson to FDR, to JFK, Carter, Clinton and now Obama as “intellectuals” simply because they have some ivy league connections. Remember how Carter was referred to as a “nuclear engineer”! But alas poor GWB, despite a Harvard MBA, are seen as dunces as did Reagan and Ford before him.

Democracy is based on the assumption that a million men are wiser than one man. How's that again? I missed something.

Autocracy is based on the assumption that one man is wiser than a million men. Let's play that over again, too. Who decides?
