In June, 2008, Obama said:
Quote:
...
So it has been for every generation that faced down the greatest challenges and the most improbable odds to leave their children a world that's better, and kinder, and more just.

And so it must be for us.

America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love.

The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth. This was the moment—this was the time—when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves and our highest ideals. Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

Yes, that was the President's claim. At least Cnut the Great, according to Henry of Huntingdon, performed his demonstration to show that such a power over the seas belonged to no man . . .

One of the smartest things I've ever read. Thanks. Smile
Just cause they say it, doesn't make it true.

Because when the government is the one educating the people, this works so well.

You have any kids get them a classic education. Check out the trivium.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Yeah, but it's the quadrivium that really makes a difference in their lives.

Yes but only one with the other. I will try and find a link to a fellow who will explain that.

Later Tommy.

True, and he has very little to speak of if you ask me.

Again true. What has been the "result" of wanting to punish one group and take money FROM them, and simply give it to another group to get their votes? Each has been weighed, they have been measured, and they has been found wanting.

I genuinely believe Obama tried to do the opposite, but it was the rest of society who got in his way. Obama or not, we are screwed. I'd just rather it Obama than any other politician.


Oh wait wait wait this is too good. You are trying to put forth the idea that Obamessiah was not the one who screwed this all up, it was all the rest of us? Without that pesky little American public to have to worry about he would be perfect in every way? Oh lord how do you make that up? Did WE vote to spend TRILLIONS of dollars of money we don't have? Was that the "rest fo society"? Oh my god you have got to be kidding. Please tell me this is a joke.

As far as the Obamamessiah over anyone else, I will take ANYONE ELSE over him!

Apparently the Old Norse is "Knûtr inn rîki" and I learned "Canute" in grade school. But I see your point.

Is Cnut related to Gingrich?

In most of my reading, it's spelled "Knut", just like the modern name.

Not to mention, the "real" way to spell it, Knute, as in Rockne.
