Yes­ter­day, what began as a short post on “black liquor” and the unin­tended con­se­quences of micro­man­age­ment (and imple­men­ta­tion of stu­pid laws and reg­u­la­tions) by the fed­eral gov­ern­ment metas­ta­sized into a long post explain­ing – among other things – why the U.S.A. is not like Europe and why there is hope that Obama’s poli­cies will even­tu­ally be reversed and dis­carded and the con­ti­nen­tal shift toward nanny-​statism will cease. (Very sim­i­lar to the way the pre­vi­ous sen­tence doesn’t seem to want to end.)

Any­way, for those inter­ested in a per­fect exam­ples of the types of Amer­i­cans that we had in mind, we encour­age you to read Karl Rove’s pow­er­ful essay about the Kris­soff fam­ily in today’s edi­tion of The Wall Street Jour­nal: A Family’s Valor, a Nation’s Free­dom. His last sen­tence is per­fect: “So long as our nation pro­duces fam­i­lies like the Kris­soffs, Amer­ica will remain not only the great­est nation on earth, but also the most noble in his­tory.” Amen.
