Excellent idea. Don't forget the part about the first steam powered guitars ;o)

But I have been listening to all of the attempts that people are making to bring Obama down -- and, by the way, these attempts are not so much to destroy him or harm him in the Democrat primary because it isn't going to happen. So we're looking at the general election in terms of Obama. This weekend, I ran into some Republicans who were for Obama. They know full-fledged he's a liberal. They don't care. They like his personality. So when you tell 'em about William Ayers, they don't care. When you tell 'em about Jeremiah Wright (and they know), they don't care, because to them that's the past, and Obama is not about the past. Obama is about the future! Obama is not even about now. Obama's about the future. So, how does this tie into the John Adams series? You take some average Americans who went to the public school system and graduated say in the last 20 years and make 'em watch that, how many of them would care? "Well, that's the past. It's the past." My point is this: People who support Obama don't care about anything in the past, including American history and the founding, or they're not that much interested in it. They don't think it's relevant. And all of this, as I have been feverishly pondering over the weekend, ties into how Obama is to be attacked as a campaign opponent once the general election begins. It ain't going to happen...

I’m hoping to write a concept album on the history of the nation.
Every single time a poplular movie or TV show comes along about ANY history pre 1900, I’ve noticed that all my talking heads (Laura, Rush, Sean) start working the material into their shows. I also noticed that after Saving P. Ryan hit theaters, said talking heads could not stop talking about D Day. I began to wonder if that was the one and only battle of the war.
“This weekend, I ran into some Republicans who were for Obama”
No you didn’t.
By definition those are mutually exclusive subsets.
Or SHOULE BE.....
Oh yest they are. They're NOT conservatives but that's a whole lot different than being a Republican. Have you not noticed that the GOP is infected with RINOS?
More importantly they don’t care about Rush Limbaugh.
Wrong.
Rush is on the air with one right now. There ARE a fair amount of "Republicans" who plan to vote for Obama in the general... kind of disturbing, in my opinion...
imho, much more important than being a Republican or Conservative is being an AMERICAN. Again, imo, anyone who listens to Obama’s future plans or considers his past, realizes Obama is not good for America.
I don’t think that you can compare a Republican who votes for Obama to a Democrat who votes for McCain, because McCain isn’t much of a Republican. He’s kind of a Republicrat.
Obama is a Progressive Democrat, a socialist. That’s about as far from a conservative Republican philosophy as you can get.
Nor is Hillary.
That’s an incredible guitar.
Yep, agree. Neither Obama nor Hillary are good for America. That leaves McCain......
amazing... the greatest country in the world and these are our choices. God help America.
Fact is Obama’s risky - Even Mass. Democrats starting to take notice

[snip] Barack Obama, meet John Adams. Adams noted during the Boston Massacre trial that “Facts are stubborn things.” And it appears that, for the moment, the facts have caught up with Obama here in Massachusetts. [end]
no, they are just not really conservatives.
Republicanism even though obviously more Conservative than the Dems has slid back to the Bush I/Rockefeller mode.
What culture war?
Me: What battles or campaigns did you study?
Him: The Battle of the Bulge
Me: Any other campaigns?
Him: Such as...?
Me: Well, for instance, did you study Kursk?
Him: What's that?
Exactly and precisely my point. Rush (and others) go on and on about their knowledge of history, ad-fricking-nauseum. But you NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER hear Rush say, “Yesterday, I was reading....” Anything!!! I hear him go on and on about golfing, smoking cigars, meeting rich people, smoking cigars, being on a yacht, smoking cigars, watching an exlcusive screening of something, smoking cigars. But reading? Never. Let alone reading history. And then, along comes a popular movie or tv show (300, B of Brots. SP Ryan, J. Adams) and Rush is sprinkling his show with reference after reference after reference to said show. Saying, “I love the Adams show. IT’S SO ACCURATE.” Yeah, like you would know.
