If there is one thing History has taught us, it is that power corrupts. This inherent human problem is only exacerbated when a group of know-it-all elitists are the ones deciding who gets what power. History did not begin with FDR and it will not end with Obama. The US was wisely started with a desire for a limited government condign to the perpetuation of a nation of free men. We could have thrown it away for a thousand different reasons in the last 200 years, but we didn't. There is no reason to do so now.

Curiously, the know-it-all elitists only seem to favor a strong leader when the strong leader is one of them.
