America is fast becoming the land of the free and the home of absurdities. Clinton era U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton sided with Obama’s view that Arizona’s new SB 1070 immigration law is “misguided” in a ruling that temporarily blocks elements of Arizona’s immigration reforms.

Even while three Phoenix police officers were shot, one fatally, and human traffic, guns and drugs are pouring across Arizona’s borders, Mr. Obama took center stage on ABCs the View. No one could have summarized Obama’s visit to the View better than former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich who said, because the President is charming and articulate he makes a great guest but his job is to be the President. According to the polls over seventy percent of Americans don’t think he is doing such a great job with the latter.

Those who first used the term “narcissistic” to describe the President were judged harshly but after the visit to the View during a major border crisis the term may have come into its own. Shunning Arizona’s Governor Brewer and the beleaguered citizens of her state for some PR work can hardly be called Presidential. This President is said to be “historic” and while there may be some truth to that assessment it is more likely that he will be recorded into history as the President who didn’t seem to know when the campaigning ended and the job began.

Responding to the title, I first want to point out that the Republican party does have their idea generators. Take, for instance, Newt Gingrich. The media doesn’t focus much on his versatility, but no one can make your eyes and head spin like a roulette machine the way he can in the numbers game of relevant ideas. However, having many, many ideas really isn’t the measure of try in making America as great as she can be, and new ideas are not the point of an American platform.

With Republicans, it is their strong suit that that they don’t come up with new ways to interfere with the American way of life. Blind rejoicing over ideas just because they are new, and no matter if they turn out to be crummy at the core and detrimental in the long run, is not rational. Such lack of rational thinking is one symptom of the systematic dumbing down that America has undergone over the past 40 years. The bulk of our citizens are becoming, by design of liberal educators, progressively ignorant of America’s founding principles as the years pass; they think new ways have always got to be better than old, and that’s that. A lack of education about our founding is one reason why the leftists are succeeding in destroying this great country, the place where many other freedom lovers come to flee their once-great countries destroyed by liberalism.
