Ronald
A. Kojis I know the extreme right shrugs this
off with the comment they didn't like George W. either; and had one
of theirs been in the white house, these "corrections' wouldn't
have taken so long. They'd add that Obama is soft on world
leadership, irresponsibly ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,
and asking terrorists to take over those countries and attack us.
They point out that the health care scam is unconstitutional and a
blatant pandering to the lazy poor. They point out Obama is pro-gay
and anti-gun, an obvious assault on the values of god-fearing
Christians. They hate that Obama and his Muslim buddies are trying to
impose sharia law, destroy Christmas,etc.. How do I know they think
and say these things? I listen to Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah
Palin.
Mohammed
Elzanaty One thing I know for certain is that
Obama is the lesser of two evils. Had it been a Republican in the
white house, we would have not even had this conversation. We would
have started a third war somewhere and you know the rest. Thank God
for Obama! Happy Holidays, Ron? I miss talking to you.
Ronald
Walcott Ron[Kojis], you said most of it. I
can't listen to Fox News because I have no TV, but I am surrounded by
believers who do. I'm still haunted by their earnest comment
following 9/11, "What if the democrat had been in office!"
[I speculate, Maybe no Iraq war and maybe not the longest war in US
history?} But Democrats are funny people. I attend the
Crescenta-Canada Democratic Club and when Obama was first getting
elected the group could talk of nothing else. Now they hardly mention
him and his outstanding achievements, almost like he's an
embarrassment. Someone please clue me in.

Ronald
A. Kojis As they say, we're preaching to the
choir. Here's one a little off topic, but not much. This morning's
news reported on a Mom shopping at Walmart. Her 2 year old, sitting
in the shopping cart seat with the Mom's purse, reached in the purse,
took out Mom's gun and shot Mom to death. Seems like a no-brainer
that we'd all agree there is no reason for the Mom to carry a gun to
go shopping at Walmart, especially if she puts the gun within reach
of a toddler, but I guarantee that 50% of the country would not only
disagree, they'd argue that we need more guns in more places (bars,
churches, schools, political gatherings), not less. I flat out don't
get it.
Ronald
Walcott Above I made a few comments about my
local Democrat Club. Today they sent a summary for the year. I
realize the some say all politics are local. But you would think the
club summary would devote at least one sentence to their president,
and further, you would think that two years short of the next
election they would be talking about their next presidential
candidate/s and how the legacy of Obama should be continued. Anyway,
the summary in full is as follows:
Dear Democrat,
As we pause to
say goodbye to 2014, awaiting the stroke of midnight
to welcome
2015's arrival, it is worth looking back at the many
successes
that California Democrats achieved - even as our brothers and
sisters across the nation faced an unstoppable red tide.
Because we stuck to our
values, our belief in people and
delivered a vibrant and progressive
message, rather than running
from our beliefs and accomplishments, we
held every statewide
office, returned significant majorities to both
houses of the
state legislature and even gained a congressional seat,
despite
the lowest voter turnout in decades.
As we reflect upon 2014,
we
are already looking forward to the battles before us in 2015 and
2016 and the work we must do to make California an even deeper
shade of
blue.
The path to victory
lies with you. Your
commitment to our Party, our platform and a
positive progressive
future are exactly what we need going forward. Let
us quickly
reboot, recharge our batteries and engage in the coming year
with
optimism, energy and hope.
May your New Year be one of happiness,
health and peace.
