I assume when you suggest a tour, you are suggesting that I lead you right?

Mr. Smythe:

Can I call you to the carpet on the assumption that you have made above?
You appear to make the case that “progressive”/liberal has some superiority over “rigthward leaning” policy.

I would love to take a tour with you around the various areas of America that have implemented the “progressive leaning policy apparatus” and note all of the wonders that this has done for all of the people who still suffer. So much so that they are smitten by “hope” as their last recourse.

In monitoring the local Obamaganda Black talk radio show I found it too interesting that Black folks were calling in talking about the need to put competence ahead of diversity. One radio host said “I have 100% confidence that MY PRESIDENT has the judgement to place the right people in place regardless of their race”. I now see that corporations who are attacked for their lack of diversity should argue that they are “putting the right people in the job” and ignore the protestations of the ideological bigots who show their subjectivity in such a manner.

I would love for you to do a thorough review of the “Progressive Apparatus” that dominates our largest cities.

If what he constructs is yet another cabinet of bureaucratically seasoned, dead-headed duppies, then we're completely and totally phukked.
