Mr Limbaugh's party seems to have become the party of flatulence. They, Most certainly, are not the party of Collins, Snow, Eisenhower, Chase Smith. They all deem to be trying a series of code words like "socialist," "populist," "dead-enders," "anti-Christ," "losers." Don't they realize that we have had a generational shift? Don't they go to church? When they go to church, don't they look around? The kids are not there. I belong to the Catholic church, the church of Bachmann, she is a nut job. I belong to the same church as Buchanan? These people are not part of the twenty-first century.
