Re: [RC] If only our Foreign Enemies were Republican, by Victor Davis Hanson, PhD

It disturbs me that as a Republican I would be more of an enemy of Obama than the Taliban. Or so his actions keep telling me. David "There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as "caring" and "sensitive" because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to try to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he'll do good with his own money -- if a gun is held to his head."--P. J.

Nice rant.   Actually, I approve of the idea of saving our best invective for our own: self-criticism and generosity to others is actually a winning strategy. The real tragedy is that Obama doesn't actually do that.   He trash tracks his domestic enemies, sucks up to foreign enemies, and condescends to his domestic allies.    Real men discipline their friends, are tough but fair to all their enemies, and harder on themselves than they are on anyone else. -- Ernie P. -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <RadicalCentrism@googlegroups.com> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org   --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
