Quote of the Day

Senior political commentator Patrick Buchanan, seldom cited here, writing in his Townhall column about the nation we were and the nation we are. He summarizes achievements beginning with the winning of World War II and including the Interstate Highway system and the Apollo moon landing and asks this:

What ever became of that America? What ever became of that can-do nation? What has happened to us?

America wimped out, is what happened, Pat. Whatever Teddy Roosevelt was, we've become his antithesis. And we pay dearly for having done so.
