Hope IS Limited Government

by JASmius

Why did so many people fall for Hope and Change? Because hope is contagious. Too bad in that cause it was one big lie. But when it's real, when it's genuine, it works, it inspires, and most importantly it persuades.



Well....sometimes.  Sometimes not.  Loki wasn't entirely wrong in The Avengers when he said that there are people who "crave subjugation," who believe that "the bright lure of freedom diminishes [their] life's joy".  52% of them voted for Barack Obama in consecutive presidential elections, and doubtless will keep right on doing so after O round-files the 22nd Amendment.  This is why I'm not a member of the "virtue is its own reward" camp of conservatism.  I used to be, but 2012 abjured me of that naivete forever more.
