You are absolutely right that there is a bulldozer coming right at us. Daschle and Co., Hillary, et al. will be our doom if we do not take effective action. Myself, I vary between hope and "too little, too late."

"One man one vote" cannot survive. Either the left will disenfranchise us, or we disenfranchise them.

We've still got the Electoral College thank God. Its the only thing preventing the urban centers ruling us all completely.

I don't think its all bad. People are fleeing the urban areas. As technology increases people will not have as much of a need to urbanize. After Sept. 11 large companies are also seeing that it is safer to distribute their operations rather than stuff them into an urban area like downtown New York. We have more black conservatives than ever before and more black participation. Its still small, but it is growing. As black Americans naturally filter into the middle class I think we will see the stranglehold that the Democrats have on them start to slip even more.

Its not all bad, there is still hope.

Can you elaborate on this?
