Right Thinking From The Left Coast
The Government is merely a servant -- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them. - Mark Twain

You have to listen to this MP3 over at Cafe Hayek in which Jimmy Carter asks Americans to use less energy and lays out his grand vision for solving the energy crisis.  Take away the goober accent and end with “God Bless America” and you’d have the speeches being given right now.  As Don says in his comments on the post:

I have no doubt that 30 years from now people will revisit the speeches, blog-posts, and writings of the likes of Barack Obama and John McCain and find them to be just as fancifully idiotic as is this speech by Jimmy Carter.

Actually, I think that, by comparison, Jimmy won’t sound nearly as condescending and arrogant.
