| Clarity in the Obama Era |
| 2015-04-23 |
| h/t Instapundit One silver lining of living during the Obama Era is that we get to witness something that many of us found inexplicable when we learned about it in school: How a civilized country can be brought to the heel of ideologues and thugs. It's always seemed a bizarre mystery why a large majority of reasonable people would let things that are so patently wrong, so clearly corrosive of everything we value, go on... and expand. |

One might read the The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany to get insights into why a civilized country can be “brought to the heel of ideologues and thugs.” The following quote, sometimes attributed to Edmund Burke explains a great deal: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” |
