It is amazing and endlessly depressing that a political party so devoid of ideas and anything but the tactic of fear would be successful at communications, and yet for the Republicans that has largely occurred. In this country we do not even know the past much less value and build on it. Thanks to global calamities and omnipresent media opportunities we are at least force-fed geography. But in the rush to accommodate a simplistic and sensationalist shared discourse, much of real value is lost - and has been for over a half century.
Democrats, losing elections means losing our future and the possibility of an intelligent approach to address current and future problems. Wise thinking and experienced people have been driven from office, as our ignorant and no-nothing citizenry asserts its anger. How far we have fallen in the past few generations.
