I guess you only have 2 more years to be worried then. 

 

Evidently, the majority just ain't as edumacated as all those who are concerned seem to be.

Greetings:

I share Mr. Hansen's 
concern on the dominance of a 
single party over all 3
branches of Fed. government.  Of late, I 
begin to sense that there is, in
the eyes of the Republican party, no 
"loyal opposition." That is to say, if
you're not on 
"our" side, then you are the enemy of the people. Listen
carefully 
to G.W's speeches.  Putting aside the illogic, the strange
grammar, and 
the "folksy" rhetoric, it is clear there is a true lack of
respect 
for anyone who might have a differerent vision than the majority's.

And 
this is where Eisenhower and Bush part company.  Eisenhower had a
vision 
for our country which was inclusive, respectful, and proud of it's
citizenry 
who voted, just as we did, out of fear.  Eisenhower bucked many
within 
his own party to maintain this dignified vision.  I do not see G.W.
Bush 
bucking any of the masters within his party.

While I am not so young as 
to think that presidential politics can be
divorced from party politics, it 
would take a great thinker, and a strong
individual to step back from the 
fray and listen carefully to the
opposition.  G.W.Bush is not that 
individual.  Eisenhower was.  I am 
very
concerned!

Sincerely,

Roger
