Has anyone else noticed that when John McCain spoke at his debate factually and in detail, and Obama spoke in generalities, the broadcast liberals calls Obama a great speaker.
When Joe Biden spoke in detail and Palin spoke in generalities the broadcast liberals say she lacked content. I would hope that after 35 years in Washington Joe Biden would have some content to refer to.
Taken from the Neal Boortz website:
I THINK THIS REALLY DRIVES
THE POINT HOME. WISH I HAD WRITTEN IT!
"By
the mid-1930's, thanks to the New Deal, all that self-reliance had changed,
prompting Mencken to declare: 'There is no genuine justice in any scheme of
feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted
wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are
really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them.' Despite the billions
spent on an individual, 'he can be lifted transiently but always slips back
again.' Thus, the New Deal had been 'the most stupendous digenetic enterprise
ever undertaken by man.... We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we
have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and
industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.
The effects of that doctrine are bound to be disastrous soon or late.'
When someone asked, "And what, Mr. Mencken, would you do about the
unemployed?" He looked up with a bland expression. "We
could start by taking away their vote," he said, deadpan. Mencken was not
surprised when the majority disagreed. "There can be nothing even
remotely approaching a rational solution of the fundamental national problems
until we face them in a realistic spirit," he later reflected, and that was
impossible so long as educated Americans remained responsive "to the
Roosevelt
buncombe."
"Buncombe," by the way, means
either a county in North Carolina, a city in Illinois or another word for
"nonsense."
Please ... cut and paste the Mencken
quote. It is so very much more relevant to what's going on today than it
was in Mencken's time. Send it to your friends ... send it far and
wide. Post it on your blogs. Get it out there. Wonderful
stuff.
