We lose ourselves when we compromise the very ideals that we fight to defend. And we honor those ideals by upholding them not when it’s easy, but when it is hard.
BARACK OBAMA, Nobel Lecture, Dec. 10, 2009
The hardest ideal to uphold? One that’s unconstitutional.
[NOTE: I came across a huge page of Obama quotes, and most of them are vague politi-speak with no real meaning. Yet I find myself drawn to the notion of interpreting those quotes in terms of what he’s actually done for the last 4 years. I think I’ll make this a regular feature with it’s own category until doing so ceases to amuse me. If it becomes boring, let me know and I’ll stop, as I love you Moon Nukers more than I hate Obama.]
Yet liberals always complain about conservatives being uncompromising.
“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, [— i.e., to plagiarize a speech that Barack Obama will give 47 years from now—] not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”
-John F. Kennedy, Sept. 12, 1962
Awe……..you love us. You really love us. We’ve grown on you, somewhat like Wisteria that in the end chokes the tree to death but whatever, you love us now.
