Thanks, Carl. The Jennifer Rubin Op Ed in the WaPo this morning speaks directly to the Republicans' choices and democracy and the danger that you raise. So does events that unfolded in the winter of '32-'33 in Weimar Germany and our coming election. I only wish that was a far-fetched comparison, but I fear it's not.

Right on the money, literally and figuratively, Kent and Carl. I fear that in addition to all the aforementioned problems, our educational system has failed. How many Americans today know the meaning of appeasement or have heard of the Reichstag fire?

Kent, keep telling it like it is. Great article! I am skeptical, however, that anybody in the once "Grand Old Party"is listening. Not only do they not see the danger that we could loose our democracy, but they no longer see a role for the US in the world. Depressing to say the least.
