Picked up from Small Dead Animals with the following text:

Here’s a review on the HuffPo of the same. There’s little doubt that Jeff Daniels’ rant was written by a Leftist for a Leftist audience. However, if one were to look critically at what has destroyed so much in America – just read SDA for a week! – the blame mostly sits squarely with Leftists, their policies, and the institutions they’ve set up. Clearly they don’t see it that way but their reticence to admit failure – as has been observed recently with Obamacare – should not let them off the proverbial hook one iota.

A leftist trope, all right, with the stupidest line on why liberals don’t win any more when they no longer seem able to lose even as they drive the US into the ditch. I can hardly think of a single thing I admire about the US any more and there is nothing it does that makes me wish we did the same here. It is a failed society and seems to me to be doomed. It will soon be flanked, north AND south by countries which are richer and more at peace with themselves. How the US reclaims itself and returns to what it once so recently was I cannot even begin to imagine.
