"The evil of such a system is not the waste of money but the waste of people. Tony Blair's ministry discovered it was politically helpful to reclassify a chunk of the unemployed as 'disabled.' A fit, able-bodied 40-year-old who has been on disability allowance for a decade understands somewhere at the back of his mind that he is living a lie, and that not just the government but his family and his friends are colluding in that lie."

DAISY: You would have been a big success, Onslow, except for your one little fault.

ONSLOW: (Angrily) And, wot, exactly, might that be?

DAISY: You're bone-idle.

I don’t think the ad Steyn was referring to, the one I linked to, was meant to persuade undecideds or the presidents critics, it was meant to provide cover for true believers, to give them a pretext to attempt to shout down the president’s critics.

In Obama's "visions," he builds roads and bridges. In reality, the President of Dependistan has put nothing but roadblocks in the path to opportunity and growth.

That he can build. That's all he can build.

Clear-thinking, Free-America-loving, Freedom-loving Americans all need to get out and vote. Without that effort, America will change into nobama’s Amerika. Throw out the political hobos and their followers. All LIBs and RINOs need voted out. Patriotic Americans still outnumber the parasitic classes.
