There has been no feeling like that for many years.

All we have to do is demonize and kill all the brown, yellow and red people, plus all the liberals and non-Bible-thumpers, and non-English speakers and everything will be just fine.
Jeez, that's a big job - we'd better get started....no, wait....we've been at it for centuries and haven't completed the mission....wouldn't it be easier to just kill all the uneducated, Bible-thumping whities?
doggie, where are you?

Yeah, I love that video, Scotty.
Reminds me of a quick story about my Grandfather. He was a WWI vet and a staunch Republican who had strong opinions about politics. In 1960 when JFK was campaigning, he made a stop in my sleepy little hometown. My Dad, the Democrat, and my Grandpap, the staunch Republican who was 70 years old by then, got to meet JFK and my Dad still shakes his head and chuckles to this day that JFK was the only guy he ever saw that left my Grandpap speechless. Turned him into a stammering groupie... :142smilie
..............................................................
great story
a stammering groupie :142smilie
JFK was the best. He cared about all ppl and
was sincere about it.
The only political rally I ever attended was when HHH came to our small town.
They let us out of school to go see him.
I just wasnt feeling it with this guy.
I think I remember his saying that HHH did not
stand for ho ho ho.
I was thinking today about Romney and the other Republicans deciding to run for President.
What kind of a system do we have when :
The 10 or 12 ppl that will end up running all go on the attack to the poll leaders.
They will call Romney a pretty boy. Say a mormon will never get in the white house. Talk about his health care plan that is so close to Obamas.
It goes on and on making each other look like total fools.
Then after it is all said and done and the nominee is decided. They go about their business like nothing happened. Or they end up being the Vice President for the guy they were slamming.
maybe it is just me , but there has to be a better way to elect a nominee than to be so vindictive and in attack mode.
where is their heads ?
Does anyone see what I am saying :shrug:

i just read this to my wife and she had a good laugh . It just speaks to the man and even to your grandfather who was able to recognize greatness when he met him in person.
JFK was one of the Great ones. They only come around about every 100 years or so.

A little background on the Tom Clay version of the Hal David/Burt Bacharach song "What the World Needs Now"...
The song was originally released in 1965 but the version used in these video's was a remix released by Tom Clay in 1971.
Disc jockey Tom Clay was working at radio station KGBS in Los Angeles, California, when he created the single "What the World Needs Now is Love/Abraham, Martin and John", a social commentary that became a surprise hit record that summer.
The song begins with a man asking a young boy to define such words as bigotry, segregation and hatred (to which the boy says he doesn't know); he says that prejudice is "when someone's sick". Following that is a soundbite of a drill sergeant leading a platoon into training, along with gunfire sound effects, after which are snippets of the two songs ? both as recorded by The Blackberries, a session recording group. Interspersed are excerpts of speeches by John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, the eulogy after Robert's assassination by Ted Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., and soundbites of news coverage of each one's assassination. The ending of the song is a reprise of the introduction.
"What the World Needs Now is Love/Abraham, Martin and John" rose to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1971, and was Clay's only Top 40 hit.
Here's another video version of the song...

Cain drew that 8 percent despite having name recognition among only one-third of Republican voters, according to Gallup, indicating a small but highly enthusiastic base.
Asked by The Hill about the other candidates in the primary field, Cain declined to comment on their strengths or weaknesses. ?I?m not talking about the other candidates, because that?s counterproductive,? he said.
well at least me an Herman X agree on this aspect of electing a GOP nominee.
lets face it, when Palin and the others slam Mitt Romney into the ground, they are making their top leaders look like a bunch of fools in front of the American people. Only problem is the American people havn't been paying much attention in years.
Cain most likely don't want to burn any bridges to being a Vice President candidate.
In the Republican party that is the only chance he has of ever holding a elective office. :SIB

in the next year or so I am going to make a pilgrimage to Dallas.
I want to go into that museum and see the window where the shots were fired, and stand out on the street where the motorcade was
I told my wife and she said if it would give me some kind of closure, I should do it.
I have always felt there was a hole in my heart when that happened.
It affected me in some way I cant even explain.
Scotty, have you ever seen the 1975 Mike Wallace interview with Secret Service Agent Clint Hill?
