Excuse me sir, but your slip is showing

So, James Carville, the political consultant and strategist for the Democratic party thinks the Democrats will retain their majority status for the next 40 years. He's so sure of himself and his prediction, he has written a book entitled "40 More Years: How the Democrats Will Rule the Next Generation."

Notice the title...he uses the word Rule. I would think an American political consultant would know that Americans do not elect rulers, we elect leaders to represent us in our government. Remember the whole "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" thing??

If I wanted to be ruled over, I'd move to some other flea infested rat hole third world country. I would rather my elected officials lead or govern me. Ruling is what socialist dictators do. Sound familiar?

Perhaps Carville's book title is correct. He envisions the Democratic party ruling Americans for the next 40 years. Telling us what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and how much to pay for it. And not to worry...those of us who don't fall in line will just get branded as potential terrorists by the Department of Homeland Security.

Those of us who are already counting down the days until November 2012 and praying we make it until then, should be happy to see the left so convinced of their longevity. The more convinced they are, the easier it may be for them to fall.
