Good read.
I don’t think the Senate is the best platform for a future President, as history shows. Obama’s advantage was that he could claim being in the Senate without accumulating a long enough record that he could be held accountable for anything. (Much like hot-shot MBAs in corporate America these days..)
Stay tuned to what Ann Coulter has to say in the coming days and weeks as well. Her main point in a radio interview this morning was “Conservative Republicans win, moderate Republicans lose”.
This election will be a long-needed wake up call for the Republican Party. Or perhaps the beginning of the new Conservative Party.
Either way, it’s great to realize that after all that’s been said and done in the civil rights movement, November 4, 2008 will always be remembered as the End of Racism in America.
It has been dead for at least twenty years as a force in politics. Except on the "minority" side. You may see it come to the fore more and more in the Hispanic community as they join with blacks in demanding "their" seat in h city council, their seat on the school board, This slice of the pie mentality with a failure to understand how the pie is made larger has been deadly for blacks. Look at DC, where the population is divided into two classes: those with jobs with the government or with "minority" companies feeding on government contracts; those with zip.
That is what I say. I NEVER again want to hear that America is a racist country. NEVER EVER.
I honestly think we can have a better party in the end, we just need to organize the loyal opposition.
Forget the new tone, don’t work. Act conservative.
