You want excitement? Watch the antics of the moonbats who descend on both conventions. That should tell you everything you need to know about where the West is going.

I grew up in Canada during the Pearson-Trudeau years, married an American girl and moved back to the United States (whence my family had emigrated when I was a child) in 1980 — just in time for he glorous years of Ronald Reagan.

It’s been all downhill even since the Gipper left office. First Reagan Lite (only half the vision!) under George W. Bush, than eight long years of embarrassment under Bubba Clinton (who did manage NAFTA and the end of Old School Welfare, and didn’tr wreck the economy), then Dubya, who made plenty of good decisions despite being the least articulate president since “Silent Cal” Coolidge, but looks to be just counting the days until he leaves office. The nation is a rudderless ship, those who want to lead are inept jerks, and everything’s for sale.

The Republicans have a limited window in which to reform the party or see it replaced. I’ve already left, so it makes no nevermind to me…

The candidate slate this time is entirely potentially fatal to the republic. I think US federal politics is so boring because the candidates are picked by the political establishment and the parties are just flip sides of the same establishment agenda…at a practical economic and domestic policy level there is no difference in practical party policy. The new US superstate will grow and the republic will continue to wither.

Ron Paul would have made this an interesting display of US democracy but his camapaign was scuttled leaving the republic with nothing but a prayer.

Eric understands McCain very well. Back in April I wrote a guide to the presidential candidates. I quote myself:

“If Hillary Clinton is president, sheâ€™ll wake up every morning thinking about how sheâ€™s going to grow the welfare-police state.

“If Barak Obama is president, heâ€™ll wake up every morning thinking about how heâ€™s going to grow the welfare-police state.

“If Al Gore is president, heâ€™ll wake up every morning thinking about how heâ€™s going to grow the welfare-police state.

“If John McCain is president, heâ€™ll wake up every morning thinking about how he can knife conservatives in the back, or pick some scab on a conservative wound thatâ€™s just started to heal. Heâ€™ll do other things, too, but that will be his top priority.”

Every time I try to grab McCain’s olive branch, he hits me in the face with the tree.
