Cuz uf cours if ya ain't with us yer agin us.
After all, if you point out flaws in, or similarities the opposition may have to the current junta, that must mean that you must be walking lockstep, a willing and devoted supporter of that junta, eh? Meet the new boss, the same as the old boss never really happens, after all - it wasn't a warning that needs to be repeated. The opposition party MUST be clean, white and innocent, thier heroic stance through the decades the only true and virtuaous force in politics...

As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Not what bothers me
Let's suppose the only difference between the current administration and previous ones is how open this one is about what they're doing. (I don't think that's the case, but let's suppose.) I think there's something to be said for hiding your worst instincts. It shows that at least you know someone may not be thrilled with what you're doing to them.
It's sort of the same as comparing what you heard in Alabama in the early 50s to what you might hear in (for instance) Cincinatti today. There may actually be race problems in Cinci, but at least most people most of the time know you can't say that in public. Saying it publically doesn't make it worse, but it's a symptom of a more-broken system.

You're still in (the) Cleveland (area), aren't you?
Ok, in this case, I'm calling anyone who lives in Ohio for an extended period of time an Ohioan - even if they weren't born there.
Or am I missing something???
Cheers,
Scott.

No, you're not missing anything, I'm being a prick
Just because I am here doesn't mean I'm from here.
