My America....... (out of step??)

Looking at the world political scene, I am reminded of the story of the mother of the little boy, who wondered why the other 79 boys in his marching group were out of step,=..... As an American patriot, I wonder how we always manage to stay out of step with the rest of the free world.

With the exception of the Reagan- Thatcher years, we always seem to be at odds - when our country goes left, they go right and vice versa. We elect Bush, they elect Brown and Mitterrand.

Now we have gone totally left (for at least 3 years and two more months) --- and --- guess what.... even the NY Times (yes!!! the Gray Lady) sees the swing to the right in Europe. Hell in England, the long leading Labour Party is now a distant 3rd in the polls...... go figure --
