We are battling an insidious mindset. I had a discussion with a young lefty today who declared that “History has shown that Capitalism is unsustainable” (no examples given) and that the “US needs to catch-up with the rest of the world and have more regulations.” It must be nice to attend univeristy on mommy and daddy’s dime.
Obama’s ideal for America would be to recreate East Germany.
"'TIS fine to see the Old World and travel up and down
Among the famous palaces and cities of renown,
To admire the crumbling castles and the statues and kings
But now I think I've had enough of antiquated things.
So it's home again, and home again, America for me!
My heart is turning home again and there I long to be,
In the land of youth and freedom, beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.
Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air;
And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair;
And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and it's great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living there is no place like home.
I like the German fir-woods in green battalions drilled;
I like the gardens of Versailles with flashing foutains filled;
But, oh, to take your hand, my dear, and ramble for a day
In the friendly western woodland where Nature has her sway!
I know that Europe's wonderful, yet something seems to lack!
The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back.
But the glory of the Present is to make the Future free--
We love our land for what she is and what she is to be.
Oh, it's home again, and home again, America for me!
I want a ship that's westward bound to plough the rolling sea,
To the blessed Land of Room Enough, beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.
- Henry Van Dyke

“Did the president urge the graduates to get out there and create the growth and jobs our country needs? Did he inspire them to be the next generation of great American innovators and entrepreneurs? No; instead, he told the graduates that people who chase after all the usual brass rings display a poverty of ambition. He averred that this thinking has been in our culture for far too long. He told them they could do better than trying to be on this whos who list or that top 100 list.”
The guy is the champion for mediocrity - for both individuals and the nation.
He hates that we’re the richest, strongest country and is working hard to insure we’re no longer so.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas spent $25000 of tax money for a spot in “Who's Who in Black Los Angeles.” Better tell Barack that “public servants” like the brass rings too.
“For far too long....”
“For far too long....”

Individual greed = good.
Government greed = bad.
I wonder who footed Zer0’s bill when he got his free ride through college? His Dunham grandparents (Madelyn Dunham become one of the Bank of Hawaii’s first female vice presidents) forked out money not only for him, but their daughter, Stanley Ann. And that money came from the Golden Goose of Capitalism.
