It absolutely broke my heart and turned my stomach, in combination, to think of 1) how thoroughly deluded these poor, naive,trusting souls are, and 2) how deeply disappointed, even enraged they will be in less than four years time when they realize that their New Lord and Savior, their Second Messiah, is merely another marionette, the latest in a long line of agents of the status quo busily tending the machinery of kleptoligarchy and that they will be four years poorer and their futures four years bleaker than they are today. But denial isn't just a river in Egypt; it is one of the most powerful of human emotions and I expect that it will assert itself to new degrees of power as reality asserts itself for the next four to eight years.<BR/><BR/>(BTW, would anyone care to make an early prediction as to who the Republicans, or what little is left of them, have already chosen to run as token opposition against Emperor Barack I in November of '12? If the trends of the last two decades mean anything, it has already been preordained that His Holiness will be a two-term president, just as it was determined in advance that Slick Willie and Dubya would each serve two terms. Therefore, the minority party is obliged to put up an untenable candidate for the "mid-term" election who is sure to lose. There's simply no other way to explain the Republicans putting up Bob Dole in '96, or the Dems chosing John Kerry in '04.)liberranterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00555275410576294081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-42745000162822498952008-11-16T15:32:00.000-07:002008-11-16T15:32:00.000-07:00<I>"In all of this, as Hawk pointed out, power and money played a much greater role than any atavistic attachment to ethnic or tribal loyalties."</I><BR/><BR/>Or perhaps tribal identification and loyalty are means to the end of power.Neutrino Cannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11975378867727506317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-89306799886755216772008-11-16T14:54:00.000-07:002008-11-16T14:54:00.000-07:00Obama is a total Marxist.

Interesting. Craig's resume includes:... <BR/><BR/>--Representing Elian Gonzales' father in Cuba in the custody dispute (for those of you who don't recall, machine gun-wielding police stormed little Elian's home in Florida and took him from his family by force) <BR/><BR/>--Representing General Kofi Anan in the U.N.

The biggest B.S. artist wins...and if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, it's what you use to baffle them!<BR/><BR/>There has never been a scarcity of Uncle Tom's in this country, it just goes to show you to what heights can be reached by choosing it as a career path.<BR/><BR/>Will Obama make a difference? Bush made a difference. It isn't about the color, it's about who will get hurt when the chips hit the table.

Her condition has obviously improved, but she's not entirely well; that's the nature of schizophrenia, from what I've been able to learn. <BR/><BR/>The prospect of having another child is a source of great joy to all of us, but particularly for Korrin. All she's ever wanted is to be a wife and a mother, and to teach her own children at home.William N.
