Obama loses to "Generic Republican"... this is bad for us

At age 51, I am not as old as some on this board, but am older than most, I suspect.  It is interesting for me to think back over the past 35 years or so about all the individuals and political groups that have predicted the imminent destruction of America, usually because of one Administration and Congress or the other.  And yet the Republic endures.  Possibly not in a fashion preferred by some, yet it endures nonetheless.  I see it enduring for the future, regardless of whom is elected in 2012.

O ye of too much faith...

This is like saying you're the same "Millcreek" you were at 25.  Yes, the name is the same, but...

The Roman Empire endured for some time. It was not the Roman Republic, though.

What's endured is that the public urinals are as bad today as they were under Vespasian.

Funny how the best places in the world to live (according to the left & squishes) are places that are almost "diversity"-free enclaves of white people.

Anyone care to examine that phenomenon?

The left are actually racist?

I'd say they are places that embody the political virtues of Northern Europe.

IIRC, there's more than a million here who are not ethnic Swedes/Scandis. Gypsies, Arabs, Somalis, Albanians, Thais, Hispanic, Turks, Persians. Diversity free? Not since the 60's. Multi-culture is the name of the game here.

I should have said erstwhile political virtues of Northern Europe.

85% Swedish, 5% Finns, 10% "other" (Highest single other reported ethnicity, Assyrian .88%)

Yeah, bastion of diversity, you Swedes.
