Great analogy from the American Thinker readers posts:<\/p>\n

The mass-hysteria phenomenon of Obama worship proves the saying (Reagan’s?): “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” Most of the Obamanians are pitiable secularists who are going through their whole lives without a clue as to what life is ABOUT. <\/p>\n

It’s as if an aspiring carpenter spent his or her whole life just reading books about woodworking, without ever once actually picking up a hammer, nail or screwdriver. Meanwhile, they TALK endlessly about all the things they’re thinking about building, and they dream and they plan and they think and they talk and they never actually DO anything–and this goes on for years and years and years and then they finally die without ever having finished–or even started–even a single, simple project. How very, very sad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Obama’s like the guy with all the books and plans and endless talk, and Palin’s like the gal who walks onto the construction site, quickly figures out how things work, and by the end of the day, by golly, the sucker is BUILT!<\/p>\n

Actually, this analogy’s way too generous to the Left. As the lefty media harpies have shown so clearly in the last few days, they’re more like the middle-of-the-night vandals with the hatchets and spraypaint who come along and start tearing the whole thing down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
