		<description><![CDATA[Conservatism (Latin: conservare, &quot;to preserve&quot;)[1] is a political and social philosophy that promotes the maintenance of traditional institutions and supports, at the most, minimal and gradual change in society.

Anarchism is generally defined as the political philosophy which holds the state to be undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful

Which definition best describes the current GOP?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Zen Lill, even the best laid plans of great people can go astray. But actually, the financial disaster of 2008 created the &quot;Perfect Storm&quot; for a black man. 

People in general are easy to manipulate with fear. Well in 2008 the fear of loss of a roof over ones head and all that accompanies it was too much too soon for white america to handle. 

And just as they looked for a non white God in Jesus to give them salvation, they were willing to look elsewhere for leadership in 2008. Don&#039;t get me wrong this did not apply to the white boy. But it did to about 40% of the rest of the white race(mostly white women and young whites). 

Obama&#039;s people did the math and calculated corrected that if they could get  95% of the black vote, 40% of the white vote, 60% of the Latino, vote and 35% of the Asian vote, he had a chance to upset a group who were not ready to seriously believe that a black man could beat a white man for the office of President of the United States of America.

It was as simple as that on paper. Of course the genius came in the details. Obama and his crew did the rest. They our smarted the racists at every turn. The results speak for themselves.

However the white boy has learned. For starters they eliminated the people being able to provide the money as a benefit because they recognized the power of the people to support a true grassroots candidate. 

They nixed that by their BADF STARK maneuver to allow corporations to give unlimited funds.  

There went the advantage Obama or any true grass roots candidate had to appeal directly to the people and ignore the big money of the crooks who after they donate are back with their hands out with payback demands for those &quot;donations.&quot;

I could go on. But suffice it to say they have looked at every move Obama made to enable him to circumvent their heretofore setup to guarantee them a white man&#039;s hold on that office.  And this time they have vowed to close all those holes. 

This race will be about RACE.  Unfortunately, for Obama, this time the fact that he rescued white america from the brink means they may now not be desperate enough to support a BLACK man for the job of continuing the rescue.

		<description><![CDATA[The GOP selected this path to absurdity when it signed on to the politics of Karl Rove. Rove understands - probably better than anyone - that FEAR sells. 

Marketing 101 - what sells is greed, sex and fear. They do work the greed angle, but can&#039;t get any traction on sex (they tried with Clinton but he wound up leaving office with record high approval ratings.) 

FEAR is the mainstay of the GOP and as they keep setting up and attacking bogeymen, the attack opportunities diminish to the point that they begin attacking their own.]]></description>
