Guess what? We’re not afraid
I’m glad I don’t have to fill twenty-one inches of news space when I write, because what I have to say today isn’t half so cumbrous.
Be afraid, very afraid, is what the Grand Old Party is telling American voters in the hope we’ll be afraid enough to vote for blunderers and political squatters again. What I find so despicable about this strategy is its contempt for the American character. We are not scaredy-cats. We do not vote for big-daddy protectors. We vote for leaders. We are a habitually brave and resourceful people, so what the hell are they talking about?
