Wow!

I'm going to save this as the magnificent assessment. I feel like I just watched a movie - and what a great one it would make. Or better yet, the Democrats should turn this into a docu-ad.

A great piece of writing, Dick.

As I told Obama on the phone the other day, you had me with

"I don't want to pit Red America against Blue America. I want to be President of the United States of America."

Always loved this song. One

Oh Auntie, I am sorry.

The Star/Tribune is usually 'liberal' anyway but even if it were more repub, it would have to stand up and attack the single dumbest, angriest and down-right lying Congress Person this state has ever seen.

I really think that the opponent has a shot.

And he came into newer money from the DNC whilst Michele has received tens of millions of dollars from fascists all over this nation.

Yes; we now have the biggest paper in this state and I think its message means something!

We shall see.

What the Republicans really fear is that Obama is The Great Blondie when it comes to getting the voters

In reply to Well I certainly thank you

Hey dd, there was no blog, that was a headline i just copied (got via email alert). just curious on if you think there's a chance she will be dethroned and if the paper's endorsement of her opponent will make a difference.

Well I certainly thank you

Well I certainly thank you for the kudos, but I cannot find you or your blog!

Give me a link or something.

Oh and I am no practicing historian, that is for sure, but as many tomes as I have read about Lincoln over the last 5 decades or so, I learned something from this 5 page essay that I cited.

You have to take folks like Abe a year at a time.

And in 1862, things did not look that good!

And I happened upon a CSPAN lecture today from some Southern 'Historian' who tells me Lincoln was responsible for the Civil War because of his failure to compromise.

Compromise what?

And then he alluded to the Dredd Scott decision as if the only issue left was whether or not a slave owner might take his 'property' through a state.

History is being rewitten by morons and there is not a damn thing any one of us can do about this.

I was struck dumb after I listened to this idiot/propagandist/racist prick.

See, I cannot be an historian because I get to goddamn mad.

hahahahahaha

In reply to Well thanks again Smith! I

Terrific blog I'm athinkin' you should have been an historian, doing comparative analysis ......

Oh, posting this here for you in case you didn't know and hoping for your thoughts:

Minnesota's largest newspaper, The Star Tribune, just endorsed Jim Graves and admonished Michele Bachmann, saying that her "extremism is [a] roadblock."

Well thanks again Smith! I

In reply to Wonderful, DD!! Blondin!!

Well thanks again Smith!

I get good traffic once or twice a month; but I really do enjoy finding some 'thing' some 'line' and working with it.

But this article on Lincoln really got to me for a number of reasons and Abe's metaphor at that perilous time blew me away.

More to the right...more to the left; yells the crowd!

At any rate, I do learn new things once in awhile and if I write these thoughts down I am less likely to forget them.
