Thank you very much, octoberlib, for your contribution! I like your signature line, quoting President Harry Truman.
President Truman appointed my great uncle, James McPherson Proctor, to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Proctor was a Republican and had been appointed to the D.C. District Court by President Hoover.
When I was seven years old, we were in the audience with President Truman when Eddie Fisher, accompanied by the U.S. Army Band, sang my mother's song, "It's Spring Again," at the Carter Baron amphitheater. What a fond memory!
My favorite Truman line is his response to a supporter who yelled out: "Give 'em Hell, Harry!" to which Truman replied, "I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them and they think it's Hell."
Today's Republicans are not Lincoln/TR/Eisenhower Republicans--they are Rove/Koch Republicans. They oppose a democratic/republican form of government. They are hostile to the Constitution. They support global corporate ownership of our elections and our governments. They're nuts!
