I received this via email this evening, and I think it is fitting for this thread. We who lean to seceding understand what is stated, and that is what makes us want out. Right or wrong we have had enough, we can no longer fight the ignorant electorate.

....This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon:

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."

I've been saying that for years. I said that about Clinton. I remember how shocked I was when Clinton won re-election. I didn't think it was possible. I also remember being on FR in 2000 and about a third of the FReepers were absolutely convinced that Clinton would stage some excuse for martial law and take over the country before stepping down.

The country is in fact in serious crisis, but Obama, like Clinton is not the problem. Obama may be a terrible president but that is as much to do with his incompetence as it is his ideology. The true terror will come when a highly competent man with the same ideology is elected by the same star struck idiots who would re-elect an abject failure.
