Best Article EVER

I spend far too much time on the net, reading opinion, news, views, lies, blog wars, left whining, right bitching, he-said, she-said articles and the like.
Below is what I truly believe to be the best I’ve ever read.
Go read it. Tell everyone you know about it.

A small excerpt:

In the immediate aftermath of Katrina, journalists sought someone to blame. They, predictably, found President George Bush was the best scapegoat. But in lashing out, yet again, at their favorite source of all discontent, they missed a bigger target. If anyone “out there” is to be blamed, it is the large, remote, centralized federal government which has become a surrogate father to so many millions of Americans.

Over the decades, we have ceded power, authority and responsibility to the federal government far beyond anything envisioned or desired by our founders. As a result, instead relying on our own intelligence, resources and ability to work with others in our communities to solve problems, we have turned to Washington D.C..

This is not a matter of ‘blaming the victim’, because the victim has become so immersed in this twisted view of human life that he cannot see what has happened. The federal government’s dehumanizing effect has torn up neighborhoods, torn apart families and turned brave, capable people into compliant recipients of redistributed wealth.

And then it gets better from there!

A MUST READ BEST OF THE NET ARTICLE OF THE YEAR.

GO READ IT AND PASS IT ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
