Being far from being pleased with the Republican party, I at least hold hope they will come to their senses and come forth with some reasonable solutions to many of our problems. If not, maybe we need a new, independent party. I hold absolutely no hope for the Democrat party, whatsoever. The sign of distress is appilicable to a lot more than either political party. If you look around a little, you'll see what I mean and if you don't understand now, you soon will if we continue our present course.

AA: I feel your pain. BTW...I'm more of a libertarian than either a Far Left/Right Repubocrat!

But there again, I prefer animals over humans......they are far more civilized

An avatar is used to identify yourself online. Folks often use it to make a statement. I am inquiring as to how you are identifying yourself and/or what statement you are making via your new avatar.

So...
Let's hear it.

P.S. I ask many people what's in their tar. So hopefully you don't feel singled out or put on the spot...

You didn't ask me about mine! What of it? ie so what?

I do know that Sinclair Lewis said "When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross"

I've never heard of Sinclair Lewis, and could care less. a lot of people say a lot of things. That's called freedom of speech. Doesn't mean anything.

I Googled this for us--let's all learn together:

Sinclair Lewis, the first American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, was born in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, in 1885. Although he was proud of his Midwestern roots, he traveled widely and was interested in many different aspects of American society, from business and medicine to religion and small town life. His concern with issues involving women, race, and the powerless in society make his work still vital and pertinent today. As Sheldon Norman Grebstein wrote in his work Sinclair Lewis, Lewis "was the conscience of his generation and he could well serve as the conscience of our own. His analysis of the America of the 1920s holds true for the America of today. His prophecies have become our truths and his fears our most crucial problems." Sinclair Lewis was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Main Street and Babbitt, and won the award for Arrowsmith (although he turned it down). He was a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He died in Rome in 1951.

Still, a statement of such nonsense doesn't warrant my respect.

Still, a statment of such nonsense just warrent my respect.

But it makes learning fun. I thought Sinclair Lewis was Shari Lewis' husband--ya know, the one with the puppet Lambchop?

Maybe you need to change your avatar again--something to veer it back to the left.
