looking into the mirror and seeing themselves rather than looking out the window and seeing what could be. This dawned on us the other day. Back in the day,college that is,most of the Young GOPers were the ones who cut class or have someone do their finals. Been there done that and took their money not realizing we would have to put up with their backasswardness latter in life. Oh well,shit happened.

You nailed it, Pap.

Also the Righties® wanted to turn Central America into an image of Batisa's Cuba. And they nearly succeeded during the Reagan Iran-Contra era.
