re: #66 Athos

Thirty years from now, this will be known as the ‘Blame Bush’ Presidency. And that might be the nicest things said about it.

Since history is written by the victors, 50 years from now, this period in history will be a case study in the failure of socialism and the cult of personality. While I know we live in challenging times and it’s clear they will get even more challenging, I’m optimistic in my view that fiscal conservatism will return to the halls of power and this abysmal experiment in socialism will come to a screeching halt. There have been many dark days in our country’s history; we are entering a one of those periods now. If history is any guide, those times have always served to jolt the general populace back to reality. I’m hopeful that out of this morass of failure a new cadre of leadership will emerge that will cement the policies of free market economics, fiscal conservatism, and a distinctly pro-science agenda free of religious underpinnings.
