DURING THE RIVER WAR IN 1899 A YOUNG SOLDIER AND JOURNALIST NAMED WINSTON CHURCHILL MADE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT DURING A SPEECH: "INDIVIDUAL MUSLIMS MAY SHOW SPLENDID QUALITIES, BUT THE INFLUENCE OF THE RELIGION PARALYSES THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THOSE WHO FOLLOW IT. NO STRONGER RETROGRADE FORCE EXISTS IN THE WORLD."
CHURCHILL WENT ON TO THE UPS AND DOWNS OF POLITICAL LIFE AND LED GREAT BRITAIN THROUGH THE HORRORS OF WWII, A HERO. HE DIED IN 1965 AT THE AGE OF 90.

FRIC n' FRAC
The news media has been talking about this for, it seems, since 2012. Who will run in '16? The usual candidates are parading across the country, pressing the flesh and testing the waters. All the things that pols do before telling the truth about their intentions. We see the same old faces and the same old attitudes when it comes to announcing officially. EGAD I"M SICK!
There is an element of professional politicians who keep saying that the American people want Dems and Reps to "work together." "Get along." "Quit the infighting." All manner of stupid comments about how to "serve the people." Well, I have a better idea.
In my view the parties should have a platform of ideas to run on. Then stick to it and run on it. Not all voters want the same thing and if both parties offer the same thing, dressed a little differently perhaps but the same thing, where is the incentive to get in the fight?
This form of government, a Republic, was never intended to "get along" as pols like to say. Cooperate so more legislation can be passed. NO. More legislation is not good legislation. Good bills come about because they are debated, torn apart, rewritten over and over, and then, maybe, brought to the floor for a vote up or down. Not slipped into a conglomeration of disconnected ideas and passed without debate or even being read by those who vote. SHAMEFUL!
Demos have only one candidate it seems. And Reps have too many including those who have been beaten before. I refuse to believe that the people cannot come up with good runners. You will notice that I said THE PEOPLE, not professional politicians. It must not be just "Fric 'n Frac."
