Excellent piece @ American Thinker...

Obama of Roanoke: We Saw You Coming
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

Excellent piece, and the link to his 12/11/08 piece should be read as well.  "Office of the President Elect" indeed.  ::snort::

He betrayed himself and it's going to be difficult to walk back.
He slapped not only the entrepreneur but also every blue collar
worker who goes to work and creates something that wasn't,
whether it's a commode that now flushes, or the capstone on
a one hundred story high rise, he shotgunned everyone.

Thanks Barry, for once you've expressed yourself well.


But I repeat myself.



ETA: Most of the kind of people who start and run businesses are by definition trying to opt out of depending on anyone else -- be it a large corporation or government -- for their welfare. We take on tremendous risks and responsibilities.  We do so expecting a better than average return.  Since we require nothing from government, most of us deeply resent and resist being pestered by government.
