"... to put things simply, it occurs to me that those who support and cheer Obama and his shrew familiar Pelosi's successful shoe-horning through congress of a bloated and ruinous health care bill do so because they lack the ability to place it in the proper historical context... these people seem to think it a noble cause for a great power to bankrupt itself by promoting egalitarianism and a sentimental concern for the poor and needy... but great powers are first and foremost about power, and that is always a reflection of economic vigour and military strength which themselves are a reflection or manifestation of an underlying culture that throughout the history of great powers has seldom, in fact never been about extolling the putative virtues of social welfareism, regardless of certain august states, namely the USSR and Maoist China, having claimed a motherly care for the people as a governing ethos... in short, liberals mistake the watery ideals they hold dear as the cause of indulgent circumstances rather than the mere byproduct of darker forces not nearly so forgiving or enlightened... they either fail to understand that America cannot be defined by an ill fitting emotional construct of sympathy and remain powerful or they do understand but feel so threatened and marginalized by this coarse reality that they long for its decline and are vain enough to believe that there are not after all more things in heaven and earth than be dreamt of in their philosophy..."
