The Dumbest Paragraph Ever Written

I have watched with interest the reactions of rank and file Democrats as Obama reversed course on FISA and NAFTA – in fact, stuck it to them. They’ve been had, and on some level, they must know it. But the human mind is a remarkable engine, and denial a powerful ally in coping with reality. Read below, from Sara Haile-Mariam at Huffington Post, about how Obama is no longer a vehicle for specific aspirations, but rather one of “empowerment”. Note how Obama’s reversals on critical issues are not so important as the fact that we must elect Obama. Note how, even though Obama is obviously not a vehicle for achievement of current aspirations, he will be a vehicle for future ones. We must only close our eyes and click our heels …

That’s what Democrats do. They rationalize reality into an amorphous gel and ply it to any issue.

Below is my entry in the contest for the dumbest paragraph ever written:

I don’t agree with Senator Obama’s vote on the FISA Bill, and yet, I’m thankful. A year ago I wouldn’t have understood the ramifications and so his ability to draw me into the process, empowering me to have an opinion, is something to be celebrated. I think it’s extraordinary that thousands of others felt empowered enough to confront him on it, on his website no less. Americans are starting to see the power of organizing on behalf of causes that we believe in. We’ve been empowered by his words, and that power has enabled us to insist on better. Still, the debacle over the Fisa controversy frustrated me. Placing so much of our hope on the candidate is crippling, where were the groups lobbying to other members of the Senate that voted for the bill? We can’t assume that one man will agree with all of his supporters on everything. WE are the change we’ve been waiting for… remember? So before we stalk off yard signs in hand and insist upon keeping our donations and our time hostage, remember that he isn’t the answer to all of our problems. He is the vehicle of the solution. He will be a President who will enlist the American people into a mission to change our country for the better. He will be a President who compels us to ask more of our leadership, understanding that we can disagree without being disagreeable.
