Maybe this time, the Right has pushed too hard? Maybe this time America will wake up
and 2012 will be the Republican Dunkirk?


I can only hope........the cows come home.

1. I'd settle for Agincourt.
But yes, they are pushing too hard and by the time they realize it, it will be too late.

2. "Once more unto the breach, dear friends..." - Henry V at Agincourt
Edited on Thu Mar-03-11 07:51 AM by SpiralHawk
"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."

6. Larry is good but Kenny is better...

at the 2.20 mark, a young Christian Bale is spotted...

That movie is so good, so crisp that even a kid who hates English clash would be pulled into this version and be caught up in the emotion of these events...

4. 77 percent of America is following the Wisconsin fight but media says
:boring:

The reality of living in the US of Oz should be sinking in to hundreds of millions of brains.

5. My prediction: Obama will eke by with 52%, the Senate will be 50-50
And we'll keep on barely scraping by while the middle class shrinks. Also, expect more Washington gridlock.


The American dream lives on...

11. Not until we can get back the fairness doctrine and reverse Citizens United.
The intelligentsia are prisoners of the proles.

12. It is hard to wake up if you are brain dead.
IMO a very sizable portion of America is just that...

14. The Right hasn't pushed too hard - the 'Left" has failed to push back
Meh, inasmuch as there is a 'Left' in the US

The Right is doing what it always does
