Yes. Also reminds me of something else. This is the 20th anniversary
of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
I recall sitting in the corporate lunch room about a week before that
with a high level systems analyst.
An epitome of "logic."
I mentioned how nice it was that The Wall was coming down. Communism
had failed. The Cold War was over.
I thought anybody with sense knew that.
He pooh-poohed me. It was impossible the Wall would come down.
Of course his ideology needed that wall.
Most of the Republicans left are those who don't see that the
Republican Wall has collapsed.

This line of thought is intellectually dishonest to say the least. It
suggests that there are not many left when in fact, half of the
country is still republican. Remember, Obama only won by a point or
two... Just about the amount of votes criminal fraud organizations
such as ACORN manufactured...

Though I mentioned a U.S. ideologue, when the Wall fell there were
plenty of commies left in the USSR.
They were confused, disheartened, and paranoid.
Same with the Reps here.
That's the problem with ideologues, left and right.
They just can't see the writing on the Wall.
Same thing happened to the Dems, allowing Reagan.
Since the Wall fell, the idealogues most dangerous to America are the
globalists.
Wall Street and the Open Borders crowds.
They come dressed as both Dems and Reps.
I despise them.
People who follow party lines without thinking about what's best for
America are just tools.
Obama shows promise when he talks about America being the leader in
industry, education, and law.
He's specifically addressed the need to keep jobs here.
He's got some similarities with Pat Buchanan, strange as it seems.
But he's maybe half the partisan and twice as smart.
We'll see what happens as the unemployment rate continues to rise.
Like every President, he'll be measured on how he strengthens America.
The strength of America is the Constitution, family and jobs.
Pick any three.

As a liberal Democrat, I have absolutely no problem with a closed
southern border. I also do not see the need for continuation of the H-1B
visa program or the continuation of any sort of tax credits for any
company exporting manufacturing, technological or service jobs to
countries with significantly lower labor costs.

Oh. "Half" the country is not Republican, and Obama won by six or seven
points, if memory serves. As usual, JustHate has it all wrong.
