Friedrich Hayek was right when he wrote. "The Road to Serfdom". And if you haven't read it, I recommend it for insomnia if nothing else but there is some good stuff therein.
Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them.
Hayek was one such and I try in my humble way. Sometimes I think I succeed but when I read the following quote which originated in the Czech Republic, I realize how inadequate my attempts are.
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.
It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Barack Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."
It would be churlish to add anything and so I won't.
