Speaking of 'religious-like fervor', I also just saw a video of a Jesus 
Camp, where they had a life-sized cutout of Bush, and the children were 
laying hands on it, praying for the President. Talk about creepy. But to me 
that doesn't reflect on Bush, and I don't think what Obama's supporters do 
on their own should reflect on him (the "indoctrination" or "Hitler youth" 
references).

Yes, I saw the Black Panther videos (election day in Philadelphia, you 
mean?). Why they aren't in jail would amaze me, except that I spent many 
years in Philadelphia. The Machine is alive and well...it's a 'get away with 
murder if you know the right people' kind of place. Always was; there is 
just a different group in charge now..

I think the 'fanatical fringe' on both sides is bigger than ever in this 
country; there's going to be a major clash.  Maybe when they wipe each other 
out, the sensible people can take over :-)
