Stupid Penn Jillette for President?
Thursday, September 4th, 2008CNN has a commentary from Penn Jillette on what he’s looking for in a presidential candidate.
“The choice shouldn’t be which lesser of two evils should have the enormous power of our modern presidents. The question should be, who would do less as president? Who would leave us alone?”
The commentary is cynical and sarcastic, but so is Penn every time I’ve ever seen him on TV…and he is a comedian/magician, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be right.
The inability to detect humor and the defense of big government in the public comments section on CNN would be frightening if one didn’t expect such a knee-jerk reaction. It’s clear that we’re way past what the founders intended for the federal government. A true candidate of “change” that wanted to limit the federal government to it’s constitutional role would be revolutionary at this point. All we get are choices between which evolutionary change we want that grows the federal government one step closer to taking care of us and telling us what to think and do.
