A Word I’d Like With The POTUS

From Althouse, via Insty:

Here is the President, fundamentally Not Getting this country:

Because somewhere deep in your heart you said to yourself, I believe in an America in which we don’t just look out for ourselves, that we don’t just tell people you’re on your own, that we are proud of our individualism, we are proud of our liberty, but we also have a sense of neighborliness and a sense of community — (applause)….

Neighbors are exactly that: people on your block.
Community is NOT the flipping government, State or Federal.
Mr. President, people do not scale. Where you see them functioning, as in a military situation, you have explicit coercive force in use, i.e. the UCMJ.
Mr. President, your attempt to legislate a single-state community is pure folly, except where outright stupid. Salvaging your presidency begins with acknowledgment of the raw idiocy of socialist ideas. I have no confidence in your moral character to achieve the necessary epiphany, but, fortunately, the Almighty is greater than my doubt. May Heaven grace you with wisdom on this, sir.

Update: Oh, and the Lincoln quote while addressing the Demoncratic Carcass appears to have been another rectal pluck.

    Obama’s speech is a great argument for charitable giving.

    I don’t think I WANT to see Obama ‘salvage’ his Presidency.

    I want to see him keeping on keeping on, arrogantly, willfully deaf, dumb and blind to the voices of the people, ignoring his broken promises of openness and honesty, never seeing the actual consequences of his fantasies.

    I want to see Barack Obama keep screwing up on a daily basis for another two-plus years, until even the thickest yellow-dog Democrat, the most gullible fainting college student, the most addled AARPIE Harpie realizes that Barack Obama is doing to them what the farmboy did to the chicken, that he is not their friend, that he and everyone who stands with him is their bitterest enemy.

    That could take a while.
