13. A year ago hoards of DUers were dancing a jig on the GOP gravesite,
or so they thought. For now, they may be having the last laugh. I don't think their distant future (50-100 years)is not bright with our national demographics being a majority of color, voters whom they have written off. The problem is, that at the rate this country is being destroyed, I don't know how much of a nation we will have by then or if it will be worth having.

The bright side for me is that in 50-100 years from now I will be having a dirt nap.
