He goes on to say that Obama runs a “secular, socialist machine.”

The obvious question is: who held the title of “Most radical President” before him? So, whatever you think of Obama aside; who, in your opinion, is the most radical President ever?

I have my answer, but I’m going to wait awhile to see what other people think before I post it.

I don’t think so. The Democrats are disorganized, and the bill is highly controversial, to say the least. I don’t think they’ll be able to convince enough Congressmen that it’s worth the risk.

What do you think?

I was bored yesterday, so I clicked the “Next Blog” button at the top of the main page to see where I’d go. I kept clicking through random blogs for a bit, and I was surprised to see how many had a post that read something like “I’m sick of blogging. I quit.” or “I’m too busy. I quit. This blog is finished.”

I can understand not wanting to blog, or being too busy, but why go and say you’re not going to do it anymore? Just do what I did: I blogged a little last March, lost interest, didn’t blog, forgot about the whole thing, got bored one day in December, remembered blog’s existence, and came back.

I assume Blogger will delete your blog eventually if you don’t use it, but apparently it takes them a long time. Seriously; why say “I quit”?

The more I think about this charisma issue, the more it’s confusing me. Like I said in my last post, it seems to allow a charismatic person the ability to get elected easily, but it does not grant that person powers of persuasion as such. This doesn’t really make sense to me; and perhaps it isn’t even accurate. But, in the past, I’ve noticed that politicians cannot use charisma to help another, non-charismatic politician.

I realized today that this may well extend to issues as well, meaning that a charismatic person can’t actually change peoples’ minds. But if he can’t do that, well, why does charisma seem so powerful? Why does it enable someone who has it to attract legions of loyal followers?

Thoughts?
