The next time we see the real face of the Democratic Party en masse will be on the streets of New York during the Republican Convention. That's going to be a fool's festival not seen since the Democratic Convention in Chicago in 1968. Just imagine what they will bring to the news of the day.

How will it be reported? "Patriotic Americans gassed by jackbooted Republican thugs."

I completely agree. There are just TOO MANY who can't get it into their heads that the leftwing 'mainstream' want to 'get-Bush' - BOOSH is the real enemy!

However they have to spin it, that's how they'll spin it. It's that crude. It's that simple. People just can't accept that, because it's so horrible. And it is. It really is.

The alternative is that people are voting, I don't know how many, based on the web, sites like this, listening to Rush and others, and generally taking an attitude that the truth is more important than being a couch potato and allowing the alphabet net sportscaster, or the sitcom star, or the 'live performance' hero, or this 'anchor', or that network 'fun-babe' to tell them not just what to think, but literally what's happening in the great big world out there. You have to 'get up off your . . '. And even though people are typing things in, here, from the comfort of their homes, etc., it's not just sitting around being spoonfed propaganda.

Be optimistic. That's not being pollyanish. Reagan had it right.

If anybody is wondering how the protests at the RNC convention can be sanitized and whitewashed by the media, they should take a look at the media coverage of any gay rights parade.
