It's inane

It’s over and it’s inane - our 44th President’s inaugural speech. It’s obvious his governance will have a monopoly on force in spite of the fact that he calls for individual responsibility. Contradictions peppered his address. How will individuals combine their energies to live and at the same time be naturally self-governing ( as Rose Wilder Lane writes in "The Discovery of Freedom") if government is not seen as the problem, but the solution? Progress only involves the individual controlling the government that controls him; pure democracy creates an irresponsible tyrant. President Obama conjured up images of Americans’ inherent freedoms and battles for freedom, but he also contradicted this legacy with a liberal laundry list of political platitudes about re-fashioning our nation and its place in the world. Rose Wilder Lane would agree with our Founding Fathers, not Father Obama, that only restrictions on government permit individuals to exercise their natural freedoms.
