dear butter:
did guv mcdonnell buy out your entire winter store? cuz that was some endless slathering of glossy overstatements for 10 minutes. granted he only had 10 minutes versus obama’s hour ten, but damn. phrases out of the ole cliche can much?
and oh yieah, if goverment’s job is to extend opportunities to everyone, then everyone should just shut up about gay rights. last i checked, “everyone” includes gays. by that logic, gay rights is a no-brainer, non-issue. by mere dictionary definition of “everyone” gay people get all the same rights — singleling them out is, just, stupid.
unfortunately for the u.s. (and the rest of the world for that matter), common sense can’t be bottled up and sold. so no matter how wonderful obama’s goals are, achieving them is a whole nother issue if much of the body being governed can’t read the constitution to understand it.
small government is a great goal but, aforementioned lack of common sense withstanding, not possible in the meantime. we need big government because the public don’t know any better.
