What a crock - this is from the populist, Ross Perot school of politics. Spend all your time whining about the problem (as you see it), then ask what is being done to solve the problem. But nowhere do you propose a concrete solution. This is the current Demoncrat strategy - whine about the mean, awful Republicans, but don't offer ANY specific solutions.
If you offer solutions, people might actually analyze them and point out where you are wrong. Someone should ask Pat what he thinks we should do - but I am afraid he might write another article (knowing that no one will actually implement whatever he suggests).
Pat, this is dedicated to you:
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
THEODORE ROOSEVELT (Paris Sorbonne,1910)
