Not really. Not much more than that. I would add though that now that the moral fiber has been continually shredded and a new religion of excuses through sociology and psychology has caused an attitude of "no fault" of the individual, no shame for not meeting basic standards of civility, and further, no responsibility for one's self: there is no reason to have ambition or a will to achieve excellence.

Correct, and that is why I take issue with the last three lines of the article. I'm not sure that the good news is that we have to "fix" what Obama and his ilk have broken with the electorate we seem to have now. Many years of Godless, self-serving, and deficient education have now produced the "useful idiots" needed by anti-American idealists to crater the Republic. At the current rate of indoctrination, illegal immigration, and attrition; the programs and critical thinking it will take to return America to greatness look very daunting indeed. One can only hope that many of the "low information" set will lose interest, as they often do, when their heroes start falling by the wayside.

Problem is the Republican Party is naive and still clings to beliefs in people trying to achieve a life of excellence. What GOP fails to realize is that many no longer have any pride and sense of responsibiltiy and are willing to surrender to a life that "maintains the least margin of misery with as little effort as possible". Many that heard Romney promising to bring 12 million jobs that meant having to get up in the morning and work hard to accomplish something were way more interested in the other side taking it from taxes on the rich and just give it to them. We have reached a critical mass of ignorance, idealism, and lack of traditional morals that are easily duped into following evil. "They will listen with itching ears"........

You are that stupid if that is what you believe. The Bush tax cuts provided 57 straight months of unparalleled job growth. Bush tried over 14 times to warn congress and the people of impending financial doom related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and even stated it unequivocably in State of the Union address in 2003. The only reason there was a semblance of budget surplus under Clinton was due to the Dot Com boom and the Contract with America run by Republicans that held him in check for socialistic spending. Deregulation of Wall Street happened under Clinton more than any that happened under Bush. Whose Kool Aid are you drinking?

Well, isn't that diplomatic and showing genuine concern for the people of the United States. Making a comment like that in the private sector would be tantamount to "cause" for dismissal, immediately. You don't always get to pick the people you have a job to work with, but if you are any kind of "leader" at all you have to find ways to work with any and all that make up the team. People elect "representatives" to go to Washington for them and conduct the business of insuring the common welfare of all concerned. This just shows that Harry Reid is a traitor if before the new president is even inaugurated he is refusing to "work with him". The people of Nevada should recall this idiot for refusing to work for them.

100% Correct. Couldn't agree more.

Thanks be to God that we have women like Sarah Palin, Michelle Malkin, and Ann Coulter. I may not love everything that they say but I'd sooner chew glass than have to listen to Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Whatever, and Michelle Obama. No comparison. Sometimes acerbic, but witty and well grounded in homeland common sense whereas the other side is usually insane, whiny, and makes women in politics look pathetic or cynical.
