Voter Blindness

Unsilenced Cal asks you to visit Boethius awaiting his execution 1500 years ago, as he consoles himself with a philosophical discussion about life and fate. Boethius tells us that wealth, rank, power, glory and pleasure are ranked in the highest renown and associated with the highest excellence. Worldly fame is always prized. Both Obama and Romney - who just won Ohio due to the counts in the big cities- fit the definition of a fortunate man. But Boethius also tells us that the blindness of ignorance renders a man weak and feeble. So who by virtue of his ignorance of what’s good for America is the weaker of the Presidential candidates, not the stronger? The Tea Party hopes it is man who can reduce the power of government and return more of it to the people.
