    I don't have a problem with youth and immigrants deciding our fate. We all start out as young people, and many of us are descendants of
    immigrants. What I find troubling is youth and immigrants without broad historical perspective and fueled by a "Me" "What I want now" attitude, exactly what Obama (and Romney) sells for political expediency.

    "...youth and immigrants without broad historical perspective..."

    The term "broad historical perspective" is a highly subjective and relative one.

    Hence the term "broad historical persepective" has absolutely no value.

    It's not entirely true though. Not the installment of a theocracy per se.
    But Bush said outright that his views and decisions on stem cell research and abortion and gay marriage etc were driven by his faith.
    While not a theocracy per se, that does bring a decidely religious touch to policymaking.

    What does it say about people that they would rather flee due to a loss rather than stick around and fight for their beliefs? iduno...
