unwillingness to change his historic political allegiances, given all the lunacy that the Democrats have advanced in our lifetimes, denigrates the value of any particular position he may have by calling into question his fundamental judgment.

Zell Miller is a registered democrat. Do you also question his fundamental judgment?

Maybe because he hopes the lunacy will end. Like Victor I can remember a time when democrats were not completely insane (pre 68).

" We can see this strange psychological American need in the old conundrum over whether the United States is "hated."

I've been trying to figure out for years why we have such a collective cultural "guilt" over our sucesses.

Instead of apologising for having a high standard of life, we should scream from the roof tops...." If, you'd just educate yourself and drop the 10th century style of life you lead, this could be yours too!"

Instead we act like the guilt ridden spoiled rich college kid and try to BUY friendship through unaccountable loans and flowery apologies.
