The DNC Festival of Hypocrisy in Chicago was a marked advancement in what GHW Bush termed a "Kinder and Gentler"approach to the exercise of power. The slogan played out the same year he first occupied the white House, with the invasion of Panama, a little war even more splendid than John Hay's praise of another incursion of a century previous. Washington now just supplies the tools for ethnic cleansing, while couching it in the language of "Israel's right to self defense"

You watched all of the DNC?! Give this man a medal for his tolerance and forbearance. It doesn't matter who wins, nothing will change.
