The Danger To America Is Not Barack Obama

Common Sense Commentary: An email quoting a statement purportedly written by a former Prime Minister of the Czech Republic which appeared in a Czech Newspaper, Prager Zeitung, on April 28, 2010, has been circulating across the ether waves of the world into millions of computers ever since. I have received it several times myself, but have not printed it.  This time, I  googled Snopes and TruthOrFiction , though I have learned not to trust anything they say, to see what their take was. I was not surprised by their "conclusions". Snopes, after many pages of comment, concluded that the quote was, "Undetermined". That is the typical escape hatch Snopes jumps through when a quote the left-wing founders of Snopes do not like, appears to be true. So they don't deny it is true or swear it is false by saying ... "Undetermined".   TruthOrFiction goes a step farther and says the quote is "Unproven". Their left-wing escape hatch puts the burden of proof on Yahootie. I thought that was TruthOrFiction's job ... to check the Czech newspaper, Prager Zeitung of April 28, 2010 so they could whisper "True" or shout loudly... "Fiction". If they had checked that little bit, they should have responded with one or the other but not with "Unproven", which they as professionals could easily do.

In consideration of the above nebulous conclusions of Snopes and TruthOrFiction, I must assume the quote is probably true and pass it on to you. Here is the quote:

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President.”

Whoever wrote that concise, succinct commentary is not only an intelligent, plain spoken word-master but a poet as well.  I don't really care whether that masterpiece was written by the Czech Prime Minister or appeared in the Czech Newspaper or not; It was not the author of the words who made that claim but whoever quoted it and put it on the Internet.  The quote itself is masterful, whoever said it.

Rings a bell!
The Israelites wanted to be like the surrounding nations. Each to his own God, to worship whomever, for whatever and
however to satisfy the lust of the flesh. I'm afraid our real problem at the very core is simple selfishness. "The love of our own self at whatever cost and at the expense of the greater good for a once Godly nation"
I wonder just how tired God gets of reruns?
America is just another rerun of the same old story. We will fall from within by the same old contagious disease that has befallen every great world power. "Pride in our sin"
