Fooled US once, shame on YOU. Fool US twice, shame...

My friends, time to assess, I mean really assess. Hope and change sounded good, plus we were given an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone: Bush Bird & Black Bird. What a wonderful thing, to finally elect a black person president! Dr. Martin Luther King would have cried, he’d have been so proud. America finally casting off its mantle of shame & racist roots.

This is my third piece in a series about group think and voting blocs. The 1st was about Jews, the 2nd on blacks. Both articles can be found on this blog under the societal alerts category.

When democrats talk of the middle class they mean grassroots families, mostly blue collar, who earn enough to own a modest home in a safe neighborhood, have a couple of cars, can save for their kids’ college and put something away for retirement. This is an over-simplification, for I’m sure this label means more. Some would say it’s a state of mind, a path or condition leading to better things. It could be a modest...
