Who can stop an Israeli attack on Iran? Only one person.

Um. Back on topic. Flying Jews: I’m for it.

I’m out. Activating pure lurk for about an hour, then deactivating all together.

Hollah if you need anything. Beep or something.

Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can’t be trusted.

vs.

Public servants say, always with the best of intentions, “What greater service we could render if only we had a little more money and a little more power.” But the truth is that outside of its legitimate function, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector.

Yet any time you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders, we’re denounced as being opposed to their humanitarian goals. It seems impossible to legitimately debate their solutions with the assumption that all of us share the desire to help the less fortunate. They tell us we’re always “against,” never “for” anything.

Interesting, KJ. Especially in the light of failed leadership with respect to Syria. Funny how the former attitude creates a weaker nation than the latter, despite its protests to the contrary. And the second guy is supposed to be the nationalist jingo.

The administration’s ultimatum now seems like cheap talk, and it illustrates the risks of carelessly drawing red lines and issuing highly public threats that won’t be enforced.
