#1 Ah but the lines do continue...

Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them.

Our choice in November to bear it or to oppose it. Are you mad? Really, really mad? That is what gets Americans to the polls.

#2 I think this is more a boomer problem than an American problem. And Obama is also the real boomer candidate. That is why he will probably be elected and things will go to hell and the whole boomer narrative will be utterly repudiated and the Xers and millenials will come in to cvlean things up, re-establishing America as we new it, or a new and improved version, much as the post civil war and post WWII America were very different from pre. And McCain is looney enough that things might not turn out a whole lot differently if he is elected.

#3 Good point about the boomers, but will Gen X be better? I'm gen X and I'm not sure either way.

#4 OK Victor. For 7.5 years Bush could-do the identification of and suppression of the Wahabi global threat, and its local component in the 80% of US mosques that are under Saudi subsidy. Bush did nothing. In fact, in face of brazen Saudi finance of terror, he delivered slavish praise on the Saudi royal family, and was photograped kissing Pig one of same, on the lips.

The Left alliance with the Islamofascists is depraved. But don't pretend that Bush isn't in bed with the Royalist version. VDH has proven that he is a tunnel-visionary, void of a capacity to produce an objective, critical fact on the 7.5 years of Bush wheel spinning that could deliver Iraq to Iran. If that happens, point one finger at slavish boot lickers like VDH. Hopefully, VDH will do a Rod Parsley on this California goof.
