Paco Enterprises Takes Us All To Task

Posted on | September 1, 2010 | 13 Comments

by Smitty

Paco eloquently makes the argument that BHO is our common cross:

Permit me to anticipate a complaint: “Hold the phone, there, amigo! I didn’t vote for him! What do I have to repent of?” Let us be rigorously fair in the matter: we are all to blame. Who among us doesn’t have a gullible friend or an uninformed neighbor, upon whom the employment of even modest hortatory skills might have converted to a vote for comparative sanity? How many senile uncles out there might a loving niece or nephew have helped to a more judicious choice through the use of, say, an absentee ballot? Nay, we are all sinners

Avail yourself of the whole thing, if you’re in the mood for some well-written English.

    I did all I could for McCain – and a good deal of it had to be done holding my nose.

    But I know too well that the choice of “the lesser of two evils” is one which must often be made, and which is far preferable to the alternative – the greater of the two evils.

    I’m fine with holding the rest of you culpable for Obama, though. Shame on you all!

    No, we are not all sinners. I spoke to all family and friends about this. Some changed their minds. Others did not and are still under the effects of the Kool Aid. There IS such a thing as free will, and people will make up their own minds.

    I would exhort readers of the piece to display no more earnestness in reading it than I did in writing it. It is, for the most part, mere drollery.
