This Presidential Race Should Never Have Been This Close | Matt Taibbi | Rolling Stone
i found this old article on the net. i think it has some value. Right wingers whine and moan about Obama’s socialism. They don’t know what a real socialist is.

Suffering Fools Gladly
This is an op-ed from David Brooks the final paragraph has a worthy quote:
G. K. Chesterton had the best advice on suffering fools gladly. He put emphasis on the gladly. When you’re with fools, laugh with them and at them simultaneously: “An obvious instance is that of ordinary and happy marriage. A man and a woman cannot live together without having against each other a kind of everlasting joke. Each has discovered that the other is a fool, but a great fool. This largeness, this grossness and gorgeousness of folly is the thing which we all find about those with whom we are in intimate contact; and it is the one enduring basis of affection, and even of respect.”
speaks for itself
I am breaking my anti politics rule for Rachel Maddow’s awesome piece on political self delusion.
