I sent Doug a message at the hospital but Scoutgirl will reply when and if we hear back. He is our Chief and we all miss him. I’ve been around here for ages and had my fights with him and my sympathy is for the cow who dared to hit him. We will report in here or on Reader Rant. I was looking at sweet face of Romney’s and wanted to warn anyone who falls for that sweetness. He is my cousin and I wouldn’t trust him for a minute. We have the same great grandfather. I take no responsibility…

Obama should write a book after he’s done in 2017:

“Lessons to a CEO From a Community Organizer.”

Community organizers cannot afford to ignore unpleasant information. They know it can blow up in your face if left unaddressed and unresolved.

As the article stated, it wasn’t just the poor who voted for Obama. It was women who objected to suggestions that pregnancy trumps rape. It was unionists who objected to assaults on collective bargaining. It was educated professionals who objected when climate change was called a hoax and creationism a science. It was Hispanics who objected to self deportation. It was young people who rejected the concept that parents should be the only college funding option. It was four years of abuse, disdain, and outright racism that caused voters to rise up and say “Enough! You no longer are the boss of us.”

All the wars we lived through didn’t teach any of us a damn thing. Every 10 years millions of Americans would try to pay off the previous war and heal the wounds of our lost heroes. It’s like watching the tides come in again and again.

I’m a book lover and read everything I could get my hands on and picked up what I felt was the cream of idealism. I wanted Americans to be the leaders of the world. Why aren’t we? Sitting 15 minutes in any city mall answers the question. For many generations we raised sheep. They are nice looking, well dressed sheep. My grandmother told me over and over that it was not appearance of humans but how they used their brains in a rational way. I think she was trying to justify my wearing uniforms all through school. It was wonderful to have spent 4 years with girls just like me during the time we were trying to be so different from each other. We used our brains! We forced ourselves to look at each other as totally different and we began to search for our differences. The discovery of oil in Beverly Hills brought girls from Egypt and all the Arabic nations. Many of our girls came from the Hollywood people and we focused on our differences. There was no room or time for bigotry.

I can only hope those kids in the malls today are thinking of the glory of our differences and thereby we would find Democrats who relish diversification. Just imagine if these kids had the opportunity to have been raised without television.

America would lead the world in one generation.

A giant “AMEN!!” to everything you said!
