A Favorite apocryphal tale goes like this: A New Jersey town where 90 percent of the residents are Irish and 10 percent Jewish had an election. The Irish candidate got 90 percent of the vote, and the Jewish candidate got 10 percent, whereupon the Irish victor celebrated by lamenting the clannishness of the Jews.

Great article.

He makes a good point about obama being a “sore winner”. I’ve noticed the libs I know are following obam’s lead - they are sore winners. They are becoming more and more obnoxious and demanding. They, along with obama, need to be put in their place. Oh, that republicans could see now is not the time for compromise or immigration reform.

>They, along with obama, need to be put in their place.<

.
And who, pray tell, is going to do that?

The GOP?

All they can do is call you (even on Sundays) to ask for a financial contribution.

The GOP? - Why not? It is time to start fighting back. I know they are still reeling from the election, but their approach of trying to go along with immigration/illegal reform or appealing to more folk by not standing up to obama is not going to work. They will commit political suicide with immigration reform.

Why NOT take it to Bam? Nothing else has worked.

I know what you are saying - they haven’t and probably won’t do it.

“It makes me so sad,” a self-employed woman I know said during Monday’s inauguration. “It’s so amazing and wonderful that America elected a black man, but I can’t enjoy it. He’s not talking to me.”
It IS all about appearances to most voters nowadays.

I didn’t realize he was an obama supporter (not familiar with his writing). Well, at least his eyes are open now.

Mr Goodwin has woken up, as my grandmother used to say, with his hand in the nightpot.

Communists have always been sore winners. D’uh! EVEN after they send all the opposition to the gulag, they’ll still be sore winners. Got to blame somebody for the failures of their utopia. Sore winner is the nature of the beast.
