I’m not nearly so concerned about repealing the law of gravity through scientific consensus as I am about this: For those who have not yet subscribed to OFA, I will excerpt from a creepy missive I received last night. It is a solicitation from the president himself, requesting donations to sustain through the next election cycle his work of building “a new foundation for this country.”
When you and I set out on this journey three years ago, we knew that ours would be a lengthy struggle to build a new foundation for this country. . . . Our special-interest opponents and their Republican allies have now set their sights on the elections in November as their best chance to overturn the historic progress we’ve made together. . . .We need you — and at least 15 other people in Asheville — to contribute so we have the resources necessary going into the election. . . . It is a foundation built upon the progress of the Recovery Act, which has turned 22 months of job losses into six consecutive months of private-sector job growth. And it is a foundation reinforced by the historic health reform we passed this spring, which is already giving new benefits to more than 100 million Americans, ushering another 1 million Americans into coverage by next year. . . . We are fighting for nothing less than a new foundation for our country.
If not liberty, what?
