Genghis Khan was quite a few steps up on the ladder of civilization

the clowns that now rule Afghanistan. For one thing, he was a uniter,
which distinguishes him from, say, George W. Bush, who was a divider.
Actually Clinton was the divider. The last president to **** off that
many people was Andrew Johnson. Bush just drove the wedge in a little
deeper on your side.
But anybody who doesn't goose step, drives a wedge in there. The party
in general is narrow and intolerant..
I really blame the media. They are the ones who invented Red and Blue
and the ones who relish in pitting the most radical elements from both
sides together in a shouting match every day on TV.
It encourages everyone to put everyone else in a box.
Just because I hand some of the blame for our problems on Clinton it
is assumed I must be a Bush fan. Nothing could be farther from the
truth. I consider Clinton, just another Bush, in fact he calls himself
the 4th Bush brother. Unfortunately think they have adopted Obama too.
The people who are being totally ignored in this country are the ones
Nixon called the silent majority. That is those people in the middle
who actually decide elections and the ones who think both parties are
wrong. That is why we have a congress with a lower approval rating
than pond scum. At least pond scum is doing something about CO2
without taxing us.
Except that Obama won the popular vote by quite a bit. So, the "silent
majority" seems to have spoken.
