#1 95% of blacks who voted, voted for the man. If 95% of whites had voted solely for the white candidate they would have all screamed racists!

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

#2 Eventually the 'Great Society' pay-off's will have to come to an end. When this happens, all hell will break lose. The collapse of civil society and the family, the return to tribalism, make such an outcome inevitable. Yes, the sale of infant body parts is also an indicator. Apologies to Gaius.

#5 Nixon - Julius
[interim power sharing]
Ronnie - Augustus
Bush Sr - Tiberius
Billy - Caligula
Bush Jr - Claudius
Obama - Nero

yep, I'd say we about into the Year of the Four Emperors. I believe Fred is close to a reasonable track for the ebbs and flows of human nature.

#9 The republic died before then. The success of the 2nd Punic War laid the seeds of its end. It's constitution was for a city state. It could handle Italy by stretching it, but overseas commitments meant that the executive derived more and more power to make it work. The importation of 'cheap labor' displaced the yeomen/populi while the oligarchs who gained wealth through capital/property acquisition (at the expense of those populi) consolidated power via factions and graft. All undermined the cohesion and somewhat balance of the old republic. The practice of legionnaires being loyal to their paymasters rather than the state/Rome had already been established. Sulla was the end state not the beginning of the end of the remains of the old republic.

#10 Sulla is a convenient marker, and so is Obama.

#11 Race relation bad because president and henchmen like Holder view everything Race First, and seldom look any further, screaming racism even when it's simply not the case. The press amplifies this,and spreads outright lies like My hands are up don't shoot. Black racists repeat the lie and black people react as they have been taught by generations of liberals: unthinkingly, and as a group, parroting what they have been told to say.

Race relations are a wreck because black people see everything as racism, and refuse to think.

#12 Want to fix race relations? Dr King had it right: judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. This works for all races
