The America that elected Barack Obama acted out of misplaced idealism. The America that re-elected Barack Obama deserves the collapse that he so desperately wants to create. But the America of our Founders, and the 12 generations over the last 239 years, of those who fought for America, who worked for America, and who still fight and work for America, deserve the best person for the job, the person who is most likely to reinvigorate the nation and put off its collapse. Whether that person is Cruz or Walker, Paul or Rubio, Fiorina or Carson, the competition of the next year will tell, but whoever it is, the 239 years of Americans fighting and working and building and sustaining deserve at least as good as we can provide in a candidate.
It’s sad to see this happen. My direct ancestor fought in the American Revolution, my grandfather among the first at Omaha Beach only to see us slip this far. I remember George Carlin saying that it is “the voters “ are the problem.
