In a earlier post we suggested watching MSNBC to get to know your opponent. Now we find it can be a place to get to know your allies as well. We had never heard of Christopher Barron or GOProud until he appeared on the ED Show. A lot more civil but just as arrogant Cenk Uygar, was sitting in for Ed Schultz.
Barron was unflappable and spot-on with his rejoinders. You will enjoy the video.

Guy de Maupassant ends his great novel “Une Vie” with the statement “Life is never as good or as bad as one thinks.” Conservatives should understand that in politics, things are rarely as good or as bad as one thinks in the aftermath of an election.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville
ca. 1840
