Open sez-a-me.
The gates are already open.
I have seen that hubris in virtually every politician in contemporary America that I have come across, from my local County politicians, to virtually every Senator from every state in the United States (except maybe Coburn and Demint), with very very few exceptions. And the women are every bit as bad, or worse, ala, Pelosi, Hillary, etc. as the men.
That is, they ARE, by the definition below, Leftists. But, tragically it is also seems to be a reflection of the very populace who vote them in. That is, like some deep insecurity, sweeping across an entire nation, insists they, us, we, I, know what is good for other people. When in fact, freedom, human dignity, is the respect, so much respect, for other human beings that you trust them to face, live, and weather, their own decisions, just as you would have them allow you to live your own decisions.
We (The Suntrade Institute) said it repeatedly here on Free Republic, that when Bill Clinton was in Impeachment before the United States Senate, it was a Republican Senator who said something like, "the American People cannot handle losing a President at this time," with his (Clinton's) subsequent reprieve.
For you who are younger than sixty years old, I have seen Presidents, die in Office, assassinated in Office, resigned from Office, demured from Office, terminated from Office,etc., and I think the basic initiatives, enterprise, and resilience of the good, honest, courageous, industrious people (who are of course fewer and fewer) carried on fine.
The MEDIA is the biggest bunch of S** ever organized in this country. Sulzbergers, Redstone, Zell, Murdock, CBS,ABC, NBC. They are the Enemy.
You heard it here from the Suntrade Institute.
