Boston made me see it clearly.
All policeman are not the few bad cops
All republicans are not bad
All democratic people are not good
All war is not bad
Conspiracy theories fester (which Barack Obama at the dinner alluded to.)
Orly Taitz would still be bad if Orly were democratic Orly Taitz.
The John Birch Society dixiecrats back in the 1960s were not good, even if they were democratic voters with George Wallace(not good).
LBJ needed both sides to pass the most important acts in American history.
FDR needed both sides to pass alot of his agenda, and to get into the war (way too late).
Lincoln needed both sides to pass his agenda and end slavery.
as someone else said, we are in a mass allignment.
and Barack Obama ran to unite America or do the best he could to do so.
And it is happening. Though not all will see it
or to use an old tv analogy
Jack Gilford didn't kick the can, and when he finally wanted to, he missed his chance, but the others got their chance. Jack the 20, the others the 80.
