It worked in the 1930's, it worked in the 1960's and it will work now. But what we're missing now is solid leadership. However, after the State of the Union Address I think that President Obama is getting his bearing again. We'll see. <br />Conservatives are afraid of change, but they are also afraid of democratic power. The Democrats achieve power by implementing programs that serve the people, so dare I say it...the Republicans are afraid of democracy?Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960173448515580309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124426997314960696.post-6652967584177503612010-02-01T20:35:22.380-08:002010-02-01T20:35:22.380-08:00Dad- Yep.

...Dad- Yep.<br /><br />Aaron- Ok, you're off the hook. <br /><br />Frank- No, you misunderstood me. I'm saying Nancy P, Al Gore, etc. ARE do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do holier-than-thou types. So we actually agree on that. <br /><br />Of course, I think republican leaders are the same way, even though they're better at pretending they're down to earth. I only prefer the dems because I tend to like their policies better. <br /><br />Both democrat and republican politicians are rich elitists, but at least the democrat politicians push laws that are good for the working and middle classes.James Douglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380226220764974087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124426997314960696.post-40418614565713957332010-02-01T19:34:36.315-08:002010-02-01T19:34:36.315-08:00So you are telling me that Nancy P is not a do as ...So you are telling me that Nancy P is not a do as I say not as I do, holier than thou.

My other favorite quote from the second article was the one that described "the paranoid style" of American politics, in which God, guns and race get mixed into a toxic stew of resentment at anything coming out of Washington.Johnny Douglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103363529913545124noreply@blogger.com
