Olympiad Athens

As we all struggle through this election cycle, Ilana Mercer has an excellent piece at WorldNetDaily

The acme of athletic achievement, expressed in the immutable truths of speed, strength and skill, is uncontested. The charmed men and women gracing the podiums of modern Olympia are there for no other reason than that they are the finest in their fields. What greater contrast can there be between the Olympian, who powers himself to the pinnacle, and the politician, who drapes himself in the noble toga of idealism, in the famous words of Aldous Huxley, so as to conceal his will to power.

Competition, so hated by the far left, rears its ugly head. And guess, what. We like it.
