I recently ran into a couple of those strange folks - religious fanatics of a sort - liberal Democrats (or, as I usually call them, "Dimmocrats").
These people are as sweet and kind Americans as you could hope to meet - well-educated, generous and thoughtful. But when it comes to matters of electoral politics, they are as willfully blind as any Jihadist. They told me that Ralph Nader, a true, uncorrupted American hero who has saved thousands of American lives and been vilified and ostracized for his trouble, is to blame for Al Gore losing the Presidency to "Dubya", a POTUS so potty that even Republicans are ashamed to mention his name. This as they simultaneously agree that Gore fought a pathetic electoral campaign, and failed to fight for his rights when the Supreme Court stole them from him.
These same people also think that it's a miracle, or at least a wonder of the age, that a Black man was elected President. That, people, is Racism. We shouldn't give a cuss what color of skin our leader has; rather, we should be looking, in the words of the great Martin Luther King, at the content of his character.
And Barry Obama has been showing the content of his character loud and clear recently - giving the usual Washington nod of impunity to the racist, fascist regime in Israel, which is currently attacking schools, hospitals, and even the United Nations. Latest score that I've heard: 30 dead Israelis, mainly soldiers, and over 600 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
I guess there's a price to pay for the Israeli "right to self-defense"....
