The hysteria over Obama's former pastor's attacks on America shows we're still in thrall to knee-jerk patriotism.
  • The Swift Boats have been launched

    It immediately struck me, an older white woman and 14th generation American, that Rev. Wright's crime was his giving voice to a painfully honest view. That Barack is now swift-boated as anti-American and anti-white by association is merely the standard M.O. of inverting his message by opportunistic design. The candidate who would unite us all in love is said to have "thrown his white granny and her walker under the bus." Punditry who said he was naive and too hopeful suddenly insist he's slick and cynical. I despair Gary is right. We'll elect not the president we need, but the one we deserve.
