JI, This election has done much to expose the hypocrisy of the American political left and fingers crossed, has done much to energize and politicize the American political right! Way to go right siders! Get involved in your communities and confront leftists- This is very healthy for open and spirited political discourse in our country. Well I used the phrase above "hypocrisy of the American left". Well the hypocrisy of which I think is the ability of GOVERMENT WORKERS' UNIONS like the Post Office or the NEA (public school teachers) literally being able to spend millions of dollars to savage and pillory conservative candidates with impunity thanks to the Democratic Party's legislative program. Yet soldiers can't vote on their bases. The hypocrisy is blatant and transparent. That is why the American political right needs to get active and confront the left when they try these what I call "chickenshit end runs" around the basic ideas of objective fairness and equality. The term "fairness" as I found out working in a Democratic Administration means "our constituencies" and not "objective fairness" as measured say in a dictionary. So I say of working with the politicians on the left side of the spectrum- "Trust but verify"....
