19 months in and I am still amazed, astounded, apprehensive and befuddled how a person as shallow, self-serving and potentially destructive of our traditional value system as Obama could be President. And perhaps more so how a “free press” could en masse be so eager to perpetuate the deception and serve-up the American middle class to collectivism.

For the first time ever I am questioning the wisdom of democracy as the best possible system of governance in a technologically advanced society. What is the 24 hour news cycle bringing us other than more opportunity for obfuscation? I would almost rather see the culture war fought to conclusion in the streets than see so many sheepishly fasten the noose to their own necks.
