OMG! Rick Warren! BFD!
It is so small, in such a long day of pageantry, on the first day of some long years of the fight ahead. In terms of the fish-frying before us, Rick Warren is a scallop, and Moby Dick is circling us.

Remember that old horror movie series, where the psychotic killer, who ran around in a hockey mask, kept reappearing, even though everyone thought he was gone for good? Well, that is an apt metaphor for the GOP/neo-con way of thinking.
Before everyone becomes to content and self-congratulatory, please remember that in California (California!) the gay marriage Proposition 8 law passed with a simple majority. Folks, the U.S. is still right of center enough to provide hope for the Repuglicans.
Well-said.
A while back, The Economist magazine remarked that the Republican party had fashioned itself as the "white trash pride" party. As you so perfectly put it, the GOP is now absurdly out of touch with most of the country. And I might add, the world.
Well-written assertions that are astutely supported.
I think 17% of those white bean-counting Democrats in Congress should put their money where their mouth is and resign their seat to black people, cause apparently that's the standard of qualification: whether or not you represent a parity of pigments.
Nice analysis Paul,
good read.
Thaqnks, Ambivalent guy - I'm posting the article to my blog and your reasoned comment is excellent - Peace.
It's nice to see the decline of the
Dixiecrats and the GOP in the South.
Fortunately (and unfortunately) i believe that
the White Christian program of social engineering
will continue to be a focus of the GOP.
It's hard not to think of the GOP as a hate group right now,
especially with the quality of conservative punditry available.
Thank you. We might have much to discuss.
Would you mind giving a link to your blog?
I couldn't sort it out from the profile.
