A Dangerous Republic of Fools

This quotation has been making its rounds and is attributed to someone in the Czech Republic. Regardless of who it belongs to, I believe it is spot on and can be applied to our electoral decisions overall. 

"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 multitudeof fools such as those who made him their president." 

Young Americans for Liberty Turns 1

Today is the one year anniversary of the founding of Young Americans for Liberty. What grew out of Students for Ron Paul has now become a driving force for liberty on campuses across the nation.

Working as a Leadership Institute field rep from late August to mid-November of this year, I had the esteemed privileged of working with existing YAL groups and helping to start new ones in Louisiana and Mississippi. It was this work with YAL that I truly enjoyed most because I am fully committed to its vision and mission. To all of my friends who work with Young Americans for Liberty: keep up the good work!

May its success continue and may YAL have many happy and fruitful years to come!
