think of leftists as “antimatter”

it is necessary for the existence of life and the universe that they not win too many of the collisions

of course, it would be best if the margin of (political) victory were a lot better than 1% over time..... ;^)

What I did not expect was Obama to be so ideologically blinded that he would make the political blunder of criticizing an American state and its lawfully elected legislative body at a press conference in lock step with a foreign head of state.

It's a compound interest problem over sufficient time and 1% is enough give total victory. There's pretty much no anti-matter around that we can see. Anti-matter that dies in our instruments before you can say "Obama gave us health care!" doesn't count.
