Here we are. The most advanced and prosperous civilization the world has ever seen and it's like we're all just assuming it's always been like this and always will be. We've forgotten that this wonderful lifestyle we lead isn't a given. Freedom isn't a given. We've gotten to this wonderful place and we've torn up the map how to get here. Many of the people who educate our children don't believe in the Constitution. They don't believe that the values that built this society are anything special. And we've left them in charge of our children. --Creative Minority Report: The Perfect Recipe for America's Doom

Deep down, he's shallow: "A good rule of thumb to judge Obama is to take his boast, reverse it, and then apply it to Obama. He seems out of his depth when discussing policy, so he avoids press conferences and becomes irate during the rare times a non-fawning journalist poses a challenging question to him. Or he is just reduced to "gibberish." -- Ed Lasky, How Obama Makes Decisions

The nation hungers for just such [uncool] behavior. Witness the recent YouTube video of a father punishing his spoiled daughter for a snarky Facebook post by plugging her laptop with a .45. The thing went viral to the tune of tens of millions of viewers. Why? Because it was wonderful to see someone finally step up and be Daddy. -- Klavan On The Culture: The Tyranny of Hip

Yes, the entire U.S. population had the same image in mind for Lowered Expectations, as soon as the words came out of Obama's mouth.

Thanks, Mr. President, I didn't think I could make anything of myself anyhow.

You have to have at least microgram of morals in order to feel shame for having violated them. Liberals cannot be shamed because they -- like animals -- have no morals, only the cognition of what makes them feel good.
