1st Annual Holger "Blog Comment of the Year" Goes To....Colonel Jerry USMC

This is the best comment I have seen at a blog in all of 2012.  Simply Awesome.

From Sondrakistan.

Reagan was our parent`s generation and history will view him kindly. Mitt Romney is OUR generation. Frankly, I am becoming impressed that he has not been spoiled, as seems to be the tendancy of far too many in our generation. I expect that he will need all the help we can give him, those of us who sense we are becoming obsolete. I judge it to be far more difficult for a great man to be heard, understood and followed in a time when our nation is leading mankind into a century of unprecedented quality of life.

Why? Because all the world is not aware why we are where we are (…including some of us…) , and the fact that our “cabbage patch” grows more and fatter cabbages than theirs, results in an angry jealousy. It does not make them happy for us; no, it causes ideas of theft, rationalizations that we somehow cheat and do not deserve, or the notion that but for us, they too could have big cabbage.

So they conspire! THIS is where a great American president can be at his best. He can and must speak with a power that connects and extends a hand, but NEVER leaves an impression that *our cabbage patch* has no barbed wire around the garden OR that our sympathy for their plight, while genuine, does not in any way mean that we will not defend every fucking cabbage plant!

In a world that seems to have more and more contrast, a less than great president will not quiet the savages, he will tempt them!
