Imagine a Presidential administration where the hateful divisiveness of Repub v Dem is gone, an administration where the president’s cabinet has both equal share of Dems and Repubs, where people in this country can suddenly be united around America and not their political party, where America can stand for good in the world instead of cowboy arrogance and unilateral agression, where the government doesn’t hide behind the shadow of executive privilege ignoring oversight and depending on fear to push an agenda, where blind allegience to a "stay the course" philosophy and authoritarianism becomes a dying movement, where the president can work with Congress and not against it, where we can spend $300 million a day on education, science, and making lives better for Americans instead of war. Sounds like a dream.
"Democrats, independents and Republicans who are tired of the division and distraction that has clouded Washington, who know that we can disagree without being disagreeable, who understand that, if we mobilize our voices to challenge the money and influence that stood in our way and challenge ourselves to reach for something better, there is no problem we cannot solve, there is no destiny that we cannot fulfill. … We are not as divided as our politics suggests.” -- B. Obama
The youth enthusiasm and turnout in the primaries has been huge. After growing up under the Bush administration, how many of these new voters do you think will feel compelled to vote Republican? Next to none. McCain represents the old, the corrupt, the war and fear mongers. We've had enough, don't you think?
Who wouldn't love all that in a perfect world, Ellen? However, it never turns out quite like that wonderful dream in reality. You people are smitten with a chimera of hope, not a man who really knows of what he speaks.
Believe me, I was a part of all that in the 60s and 70s. It's why so many of us 60s liberals are neo-cons now. We chased the dreams and then ran into some brick walls of the way life really works.
But have at it. The brick walls are just down the way a bit.
I'm a southern Christian conservative with a degree in civil & environmental engineering and a passion for the truth of God's Word, writing, hiking, investing, fly fishing, cooking and the great outdoors. My favorite tech invention = spellcheck. There are no such things as rights without responsibility, a free lunch, cheap grace, man-made climate change, successful government engineering, or figuring out when life begins. We're hurling towards the abyss with only One Life-Line: it's not botox, a "living" Constitution, celebrity president, or making nice with our dark enemies.. Meanwhile, God gave us His Word, His Son, Grace Upon Grace, family/friends and the greatest country in the world to live--if we can keep it .Comments are closed but you can email me at: webutante07 at gmail dot com.

Last Stanzas of America the Beautiful
O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine!

Excuse me while I get out the violins....

Wonderfully put, Webutante.
What a hoot! I wonder if Jungle Mom has seen this. I'll leave word for her to get on over here and take a look.
