I've mentioned before my shame for having voted for McGovern when I was 18 and other than primaries, I've never voted for a Democrat again. I can't help but feel than years from now a great many young people who were swept up in Obama's novelty will feel quite different. Then again, some people never grow up. * * *

I think the reason is that liberal ideas are sugar-coated with soft terminology, are based on emotions and articulated good intentions, and are not required to actually succeed in order for success to be declared. Good intentions and a stab at it are sufficient. It's the same reason there can no longer be winners and losers in school. The only thing important to liberal academicians is that the student tries. After the age of 7, this immature mind set is entirely counter-productive. There are levels of trying, which such people don't appreciate. If you started grading the intensity of effort, you'd be back to grading per se. And if you do that, you understand why there are some people who earn only $30,000/year, while others are supposedly rich at $250K. It's the same reason that, if you took all the wealth in the country and divided it evenly among all US citizens, in very short order you'd still have low-income and high income classes. Not even the Wiz, Barry Obama, can change that reality.
