The passing of time has only reinforced that conviction. And I went to a State College. From this perspective, given his cushy schooling Obama is a Sham in a suit. <BR/>When this stuff gets to be too much I got to the 19th century for some clarification. Something that will hit the nail on the head and remind me I'm not crazy or alone. Because, well, speaking for myself, even though the MSM is phoney and dishonest, their incessant denial can get to you every now and then. Recently, during one such ocassion where I found myself standing mute in front of their incredible inability to admit what is right in front of their eyes, I reached in my library for something that would set me straight. And here's the beaut I found.<BR/>It's from Nietzsche. <BR/>"There comes a point in the history of society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and doese thsi quite seriously and honestly....this is now called - "progress"."<BR/><BR/>Bingo!<BR/><BR/>Well Said Fred.Dedalusnoreply@blogger.com
