Certainly an interesting diatribe. I do not question the sincerity of
the author, but as an interested party to the doings across the pond,
I would politely point out that to the best of my knowledge, the
Democrats have not had a majority for eight years and that the
greatest obstacle to passing legislation has been getting it past your
president's desk.
Sadly, I would also point out that your assessment regarding Europeans
and racism is, sadly and to my own embarrassment, rather myopic. You
may ask Cecil Rhodes, if you care to.
It is also an unkind cut, knowing the donkey is a time-tested symbol
of the Democratic Party, to hurl it as an epithet. To this I most
strongly protest. Next you shall be calling them all round heads, I
suppose.
Lastly, regarding salve ...
What has a healing and soothing ointment have to do with this
argument, may I ask?
Sincerely,
