COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

    With Sarah we know she's on our side, longs for the angelic life. And has the realistic good sense to recommend Alaska to the youth of the church as a refuge when the end times come. Given the choice, it's enough.

    It appears to me that the MSM and the candidacy of Barack Obama is diminishing in stature.

    I like Palin for all sorts of qualities, and for the fact she might be the deciding factor in the election, but must admit she is a pretty new recruit. If she were to become President she'd need a lot of help. She might be great too, everything's a gamble. You never know.
