Jim Manzi is right.
There are about 1,460 days until the next Presidential election, and I assume that I will spend approximately the next 1,459 of them opposing Barack Obama. But I’m spending today proud abut what my country has overcome.
It’s a shame our first black President is this one, the callow Marxist. But Manzi has seen the historical silver lining.
As much as this is a step forward (and hey, Democrats, I voted for a black presidential candidate before you did) I really worry about the step leftward, thus downward, the country has taken.
“You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down –up to man’s age-old dream–the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order — or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.” — Ronald Reagan
I hope we can also overcome an Obama presidency.
And please – count how many riots we get tomorrow.
