How very very true.
that is my fear, of course. But i have to stop and think that the devil we know may potentially be EVIL enough that in a close election, his base isn't going to come out, and our side [except for the unappeasables] will come out in droves, even if it's for a flawed but inspirational candidate.
Obama is a legend only in his own mind...more like a tragic comedy.
hasten all you want. They've sure got everybody scared, haven't they, lest we say something "incorrect."
As you state, the US has decayed morally and changed demographically. While we consider ourselves smarter than ever before because we know how to turn on an X-box and surf the web for adult material, IMHO common sense and the level of education in the US has been declining ever since the late 60s. America today is very similar to Europe and much of the so-called differences are more semantics than anything tangible in real life. The difference between the US with her 41% government share of the economy vs Germany with her 48% government share is what the argument has become. America today is a light version of some Euro style semi-free economy.
Seriously, take the statements of our founding fathers on religion, guns and property ownership and tell that to most people today without telling them “who” said that and they will call the cops on you because you're a radical, possibly a racist, definitely an evil close minded person in their eye's.
Even if you told them who said it, they would just dismiss them as a bunch of "dead, white guys."
Pleasant dreams, all. Thanks neverdem.
Well, since you put it that way, it sounds like a pretty damn good plan!
