Hi CB,

I think that you will find that ethnic minorities who self-select to come to the US, like the Africans you describe, are far more likely to be entrepreneurial individuals and thus inclined toward the GOP. Those blacks who had forbears who were slaves come from a line of folks who were losers in African wars of plunder many centuries ago. Thus, it wouldn't be surprising that they aren't, on average, the creme de la creme.

I would agree that there isn't a terribly long distance between Gush and Bore. It's the rigging of future Supreme Courts that troubles me. For, you see, I believe the Supreme Court just told me that my vote isn't important in their scheme of things. I'm sure you see it differently.
Another concern that I have is the tone to be set by a Bush Presidency regarding police state tactics. Here's what the Court is doing when it's not deciding who is President:

I am not sure how you are going to accommodate your libertarian views with the propensity of this USSC and the Bush regime to impose greater restrictions on individual liberty. For surely this is coming.

Be warned, Ray
