Rumsfeld On America

Yesterday, I was listening to both CPAC and the Mubarak speech at the same time (no mean feat!) when Donald Rumsfeld took the stage. One of the best quotes of the day I just had to tweet:
The United States is the most important invention of Mankind

Well put. This republic, this country, this nation, was founded on the ideals that the people are in control, that the people can be trusted to run their own lives, and if left alone, live, work, play in a peaceful and productive way. When the people are left alone to largely govern themselves, they are capable of awesome and amazing things.

It’s no secret why most people on earth consider America the best place on earth. For the first time in history, it was a country designed from the ground up to honor the people, not rulers. And mankind deserves honor, not rule.

One wonders why we would ever want to get back to a place where we were ruled. And that’s exactly where Obama and his ilk want us to go.
