Mr. Romney's farewell address will not go down in history as a fondly remembered summary of the wisdom of a popular leader distilled over years of civic service.
It was just more cranky and ratty 2007 Republican Conservatism.
His father, George Romney, was a fine man. He was a straight talker whose straight talk destroyed his run for the presidency. I am sure Mitt remembers.
I am also sure Mitt cannot be as witless as he appears. No, he will not repeat his dad's mistake, so he has advisors and speech writers who will make sure he toes the line of the 21st Century Republican Cranky and Ratty Conservative Movement, aided and abetted by the likes of radio talk show hosts.
The threat to our culture comes from within. In the 1960s, there were welfare programs that created a culture of poverty in our country. Now, some people think we won that battle when we reformed welfare.
Apparently there was no poverty before the 1960s. Or, if there had been poverty, the Poor were so degraded in spirit and diminshed in abilities that-thank god!-they had not the wit to create a "culture"...probably had something to do with the amount of lead they had ingested as toddlers.
They [Liberals] fight to strip work requirements from welfare, to put more people on Medicaid, and remove more and more people from having to pay any income tax whatsoever.
I seem to have misunderstood who received the Republican tax cuts. Enough. Mr. Romney, when you resurface -as assuredly you will-try for an incarnation as a person with his own mind and his own personality. As geeky as it is, you are a likeable person when you do not hang around with the 21st century cranks.
