I agree. The author seems to be one of the dwindling few, among whom I consider myself, who rightly places current events within a historical context versus histrionics.
Excellent! Ping!
If football games were determined by the number of first downs instead of touchdowns a lot of us who can throw a football ten yards but not seventy yards would be professional quarterbacks.
If... Gore had any sense he would have read the rules before the campaign and gone for the electorial vote instead of the popular vote.
Kerry is Kennedy's puppet, nothing more, nothing less.
"Kerry is a reminder of others whose much-heralded experience in earlier battles turned counter-productive in subsequent struggles: Marshall Philippe Petain became France's hero as defender of Verdun in World War I. In June 1940, as Hitler's army prevailed over the French, Petain stepped forward to surrender France's honour to German Nazis."
Love the French Connection.
D__m, Thats awesome and someone from Canada wrote it,wow
George Bush became the 43rd American president in the 2000 election by winning the all-important electoral college vote while losing the popular vote.
I once saw a Red and Blue map of the 2000 election at the county level. The US was almost all Red except for in the major urban areas, that is, the big cities. You almost had to look close to see the Blue. The electoral college prevents the big cities from completely dominating the rest of the country. This is deliberate and a good thing. It helps prevents a second civil war between the big cities and everyone else.
Anyone care to guess Mr. Mansur's ethnic/cultural/religious identity?
He sounds like an American living in Canada to me.
Sounds like an Arab name...
You didn't emphasis strongly enough on the part I keep trying to get people to notice.
The electors from the states, representing each individual
state,protects us from a few very large populated states.
In the last,2000, election the 500,000 votes over Bush by Kerry could be said they came from one city.
One city in California gave Kerry 750,000 more than Bush. Two states, New York and California, gave Kerry 3,000,000
more than Bush. [World Almanac]
Can you see a pattern of what may be coming? These states have a larger number of immigrants, not yet citizens than any other.
Check it out.

I knew a guy with a Salim last name. His grandparents came from Lebanon. He was as American as apple pie.
See...there you go:) Its what we believe...God Bless America!
Couldn't have said it better, myself. Kerry as president will appease, appease, appease. Goons don get appeased. They take,and take and take.
As one A.W. to another, I must agree with most everything you have said. The possible exception being about America being "about what you believe"... I would add "and what you are committed to" as a qualifier. I am sure that the worthies you mentioned as anti-American writers believe what they are saying but in the end are willing to give up those beliefs in order to gain the power they lust after.Their commitment being to power and not principle.(Please see Victor Davis Hanson on being driven by the tide of the battle rather than principle.
