The Enemy

I recently paid a visit to San Francisco. It is a wonderful city. Beautiful along the steeped hills. Fragrant aromas and colorful people. This is life in the bluest of the blue cities America has to offer. Although I was acutely cognizant of this fact, I enjoyed every turn, every vista, and most of the people I encountered there. Frisco is simply shinin'. Sweet and easy.

But the photograph above, taken in that fair city by Zombie the day after the '04 elections, sums up very well the sad problem we Americans share among ourselves.

Look at that fellow's face.

Yeah, I voted for W, just like he voted for Kerry. Had the John won, I would have been sad and perturbed, to be sure, but I would not have indicted the 'blue' areas the way he did my homeland. That sort of expression would not have crossed my mind. Not in a million years. It was only an election, after all. Zombie's image captures a sick, pathetic pathos, which is not good for this nation.

The too veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas just said she would 'kill herself' should Dick Cheney decide to run for President in '08. Really? Pathetic pathology on her part, friends.

There is something dread wrong with the left in this country. Since America's inception, there has been vigorous, oft rancorous, debate over the direction our nation should take. I deeply disagree with that fellow's sentiments. I am offended by it, but I would not express myself likewise, because I do not believe Americans should lower themselves to that level. To do so exposes a lack of compromise, upon which we have exisited forever, save the uncivil war in 1861. Let's please not go there again...

The photograph does not bode well.
