We can agree on the oil and water observation. Not a lot else.
At the end of LBJ's time, the Democrats had been In power too long, and they had taken their philosophy too far. Now, the shoe is on the other foot. There ought to be somebody arguing for low taxes and small government, but the argument ought to be taken seriously not settled out of habit. It can be taken too far, and has been. The Republicans have an affinity for the elites and racists. As a result we have endured the extreme division of wealth, an oppression of minorities that came to effect the working poor, and effect even those who wanted to join the professional elites by going to college. It is past time to work for the worker.
Now these are old arguments. You will ignore them as usual, and repeat your arguments that the Democrats have done a rotten job during the time the Republicans were dominant. Yes, it was a pain fighting against the tide. Well, the tide turns. Time to talk policy, not party.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
