This Is NOT the Founding Fathers' America

This is not Alexis de Tocqueville America, the America of can-do, gung-ho, and keep the government at a manageable size and minding its, but not our, beeswax.

This is Obama's America.

An America of "you didn't build that" and "the government is the only thing we all belong to" and "the future doesn't belong to those who insult Islam." An America of entitled layabouts on permanent pogey who, like Romans during that empire's decline, are content to amuse themselves with decadent entertainments as the Barbarians mass at the gates.

This is Obama's America.

God help us as it skedaddles into the sunset, and takes us all down with it.
