"Brevity is the soul of wit"

If you are a Limbaugh listener, you may recognize that quote.

How can you distill the essence of a thing and get to its core meaning, and having done so, achieve the "soul of wit"?

That's what I'm trying to do with this piece by Barnhardt.

Is it really necessary to fight?  What good is fighting if you've lost your integrity?  You have to decide what you are fighting for before you fight.  Besides that, you will have to be assured that when you fight and win your objective, you will have achieved that objective and not have it stolen from you at your moment of triumph.  All this requires INTEGRITY in the LEADERSHIP.

If America is failing, it is because its leaders have lost their integrity and are no longer fit to lead a free people.  Clearly, there are problems.  Clearly, the integrity is not there.  What is not so clear to me is that the situation is hopeless.  She seems to think so.

Hopefully, that is the "soul of wit" I'm looking for.
