| Old Ironsides |
The United States must really have some special resilience going
for it to have survived the last five years ... maybe even longer ... of domestic and international
screw-ups. Whether this
mismanagement is purposeful or as a result of incompetence is almost beside the
point. Our country has been buffeted by
a series of fiscal, operational, and diplomatic tidal waves that would have
sunk even the sturdiest of ships … yet we sail on … a little slower and shakier
than would be nice … but we are thankfully still afloat.
I hope I need not detail these tsunamis … which should be quite
obvious to those seamen even traveling in steerage.
Can I just tweak a few reminders … the IRS, huge deficit
spending, Benghazi, Iran, NSA, Obamacare, the Muslim Brotherhood, Fast and
Furious, North Korea, the stimulus, amnesty, Solendra, illegal immigrants, Assad, the
fiscal cliff, EBT cards, unemployment, Afghanistan, global warming, Edward Snowden, SDI, increased tax
rates, the debt ceiling, Excel pipeline, etc.?
We have placed a tyro at the helm of our ship of state who appears somehow oblivious to these buffetings … just as long as he can play some golf, have
his White House soirees, and pick his March Madness brackets.
Our man-o-war surely must be rock-ribbed.
