Re: Relax, TB
You have an odd idea of what "in power" means in our form of Federal government. From another point of view, that of the bodies that actually make the laws, Republicans have only been in power for 12 years of the last forty or more.
And this has to be a new time record for you to drift off into the meme that reality, objectivity, reason and history have nothing to do with politics, and no one political philosophy can be judged better than any other.
After all, Nazi Germany, North Korea, Pol Pot, and Al Qaeda are just different manifestations of the human spirit.
