Czech Blue Dog Blues

Jerry Shenk writes in the American Thinker:

“For decades, until 2009 — after Democrats had secured majorities in both houses of Congress, a hard-left liberal entered the White House, and government profligacy really took off — centrist politics and institutional collegiality brought America progressively closer to economic and fiscal crisis.”

He has kindly further shared with me the following related quote in a recent e mail, h/t to Jerry: “Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them.  This quote came from the Czech Republic .  Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon “

“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 Mr. 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.”

I could not have said it any better in any language. Thanks, Jerry.
