First, let me say to one and all, Happy Thanksgiving! I really enjoyed my day off with family and friends. My daughter ran around (trying to escape her parents' restrictive arms) so much, she fell asleep with pie in her mouth, on the way home. Good times.
In addition to my family, I'm very grateful for this nation and the religious freedom we enjoy.
O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern impassion'd stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law!
How meaningfully delicious are campaign hope and change? Take a look:
Oh, and guess when our very own President Obama called lonesome, "#43," unpatriotic for spending too much? July 3, 2008. Hmm. That's surely not "Washington politics" at play, is it? By golly, gee whiz.
Let me see if I'm understanding President Obama correctly: Spending $4 trillion over 8 years is unpatriotic. Okay, so, spending $4 trillion in two and half years, after previously criticizing the former $4 trillion spending as unpatriotic? . . . I guess spending the same amount in less than 33% of the time is, at least, "change."
On the other hand, I believe most would agree: "That's not the kind of change we need." (Although the country could use some more change -- $$ -- and a lot less spending.)
One last, parting question, posed by Ed Morrissey of hotair.com: “If Obama can use the increase in the national debt to question Bush’s patriotism, doesn’t it follow that increasing deficit spending by 152 percent per month makes Obama 152 percent more 'unpatriotic' than Bush?”
