I quoted the Iraqi voter turnout as a sign that the Iraqis INDIVIDUALLY have the desire to choose their own government, a concept the Left sneers at constantly.

I am so tired of this myth that good government comes only from enlightened far-seeing thinkers working for the best of all.

When our founding fathers met in Philadelphia to write the Constitution, they were each seeking a compromise that would serve their own constituents the best.

And they were realists. They knew they could not rely on the good will of others.

Democracy isn’t magic. It is compromise.
