Gridlock to be celebrated

Sun., March 17, 2013

When carnivorous and greedy executive power is on the prowl, a legislative counterbalance creates a godsend stumbling block dismissed derisively by elites as gridlock. The term itself is fine, but the intent behind those who declare it isn’t.

Knowing what I know about the intents and purposes of this statist president, I am prepared to celebrate gridlock as a high sacrament of this republic.
