Democrats have not the desire or the will to change their divisive tactics. To them, it’s all about attempting to win the next election. Even if their negativity threatens national security or economic prosperity, to them it’s all about the next election, even on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Our grandchildren deserve more than terminal status quo. The only effective strategy toward expelling divisive Democrats from Congress, as history has shown, is greater involvement by “we the people.” It’s not enough to just vote on Election Day. We must make our voices heard in between Election Days.

“We the people” have got to stop being “we the stupid” and “we the forgetful” when politicians pander to gain our applause and votes. Comments like those made this week by Mrs. Clinton will destroy our nation, instead of uniting it as Dr. King dreamed.

President Bush’s support in 2004 among African-Americans indicates that when voters hear the truth, versus distortion and lies, they are willing to support conservative candidates. Some of us are thinking for ourselves. Mrs. Clinton and the Congressional Democrats will discover in 2006 and 2008 that many of us have already left their plantation.

You know what I’m talking about.
