The perpetually half-empty glass
John Leo goes yard with a sweetly sarcastic look at the Democrats' world view: "in every silver lining there is a cloud". And yet the media wonders aloud why Americans increasingly are voting them out across the board?
Maybe it is because we were taught that great achievements are possible given sweat, hard work, and belief. Would there be American footprints on the Moon today if these guys had been in charge? No. We would be second-rate, much like the tired philosophy they continue to espouse, despite its lengthening distance from objective reality. To be a Democrat in this day and age is to be against virtually everything that has and still does make this the greatest country in the world.
