"No president in history came to office with more political capital than Barack Obama. He squandered it like a lottery winner within a few months. If liberals had any sense of irony, they would appreciate the inanity of braying about racism right after America elected a black president."

Nov. 8: It's not just Trump

Graeme Decarie at The Decarie Report - 5 hours ago
The problem is not Donald Trump. The problem is about half of the American population. That's roughly the number who supported Trump in the mid-terms. The problem originated, I suspect,as a patriotism gone mad. Americans have it drummed into them as children that they are a god-fearing people - and also that they are God's chosen people. When, in the 1830s, American land speculators and slave dealers flooded into what was then northern Mexico, Mexico reacted against them. Of course. They were taking Mexican land. They were bringing in slaves to a Mexico that didn't accept slavery. ... more »
