Pot Claims Kettle To Be "Hot"

At American Thinker, this is what passes for thought & writing (See the way each sentence is as long, or longer, than the previous one?):
Reagan did great things. He decided to win the Cold War. He cut tax rates and federal regulation. Ronald Reagan took the tide of history and turned it away from the dreary meanders of the postwar world and channeled events towards new and happy futures.
American Thinker. The one w/ a mostly sepia illustration of Uncle Sam, sitting on what appears to be a two-ft. high pile of shit. You know the one.
Please do not, even for a moment, think that author Bruce Walker doesn't have some great new ideas that the Prez might try, to break from the ordinariness, the dullness, the lifelessness of the Obama Administration. Check this out!
Obama, by stark contrast, seems to think that doing what we have been doing will somehow bring a better America.  What if Obama had promised within his term of office to consolidate the cabinet into eight offices?  Even Richard Nixon had the imagination to propose that idea.  What if Obama proposed a radical tax simplification, even if rates stayed high? That would be something to savor: he could remain a socialist, but at least stand against hopeless confusion.
Yeah, do what Nixon wanted to do, that's a new idea whose time has come. (And, what we think is really behind the right's rabid opposition to taxes: They get all huffy & frustrated because they're too fucking stupid to fill out the forms. "Hopeless confusion." Hopeless idjits, is more like it.)
Mr. Walker, the typist behind this (or his editor) actually entitled it "The Banality of Obama." As in, of course, the "banality of evil."
