Time has passed them by.

One doesn't win a war in a single day. Or with a single battle. Usually, it takes a while. One wins gradually. With momentum that builds and builds and builds. Seems to me that Barack Obama and many of his fellow Democrats are at war with the Republicans. Some pretty bad people. They are the party of 'no.' The obstructionists. Many of 'em are still living back in the 19th century. They like to do things the old way. Opposed to change. For a long, long time, they opposed civil rights. They didn't even give women the right to vote until 1918. They are foot-draggers. Many, not all thank gawd, are racists. A few of 'em are pretty decent people. But as a whole, the Republican Party has been captured by a lunatic fringe of diehard conservatives. Fortunately, they are losing the war. But as losers, they are acting like trapped rats. They are baring their teeth. They are pulling out all stops. They are desperate. A sign that they know it's almost over. Because it's the 21st century. Time has passed them by. --Jim Broede
