David Horowitz: How Conservatives Should Celebrate the Inauguration - '...If it seems unfair that Barack Obama should be the source of a new patriotism – albeit of untested mettle -- life is unfair. If the Obama future is uncertain and fraught with unseen perils, conservatives can deal with those perils as they come. What matters today is that many Americans have begun to join their country's cause, and conservatives should celebrate that fact and encourage it. What matters now is that the American dream with its enormous power to inspire at home and abroad is back in business. What it means is that the race card has been played out and America can once again see itself -- and be seen -- for what it is: a land of incomparable opportunity, incomparable tolerance, and justice for all. Conservative values -- individual responsibility, equal opportunity, racial and ethnic pluralism, and family -- are now symbolically embedded in the American White House. As a result a great dimension of American power has been restored. Will these values be supported, strengthened, put into practice? It is up to us to see that they are.'

Celebrate? What? Why? We have relatively recent history showing what works - Reaganomics. We have a little older history of what didn't - what Hoover tried. I hope and pray that the second attempt - against proof that it failed miserably the first time - somehow miraculously succeeds this time. I'm not optimistic and I'm definitely not celebrating.
