Mr. Moran writes, “For the millions of Obama supporters who either didn’t ask or didn’t care what the answers would be to those questions, there appears to be an almost childlike faith in his abilities.”
This is the root problem of most Americans, not just Obama supporters. They’ve been taught that self-reliance is impossible because reality is invented and thinking is subjective. Hence, they’ve been reduced to the cognitive state of abused children desperate for supervision.
Until the rational, Aristotelian philosophy of the Enlightenment is again taught in our schools, Americans will continue being duped by the demagogues and led like “sheep to the slaughter” of statism. The $700 billion fascist TARP signed by McCain and Obama is just the latest measure.
Man’s noble capacity for reason and abundant production requires freedom – without which, he descends to bickering and barbarism. Hence, the absolute protection of individual rights against the initiation of force an fraud is the sole purpose of a moral government and the sole means to a moral society.
Defend reason consistently (rejecting faith and support of the statists in higher education), and the political battle for freedom will triumph!
The rational is the moral, and the moral is the practical.
