I'll now seek out Edey Soy products. 

Somehow the progressives are still thinking, "If only we have the right oligarchs in charge..."

I'm a Blue-Stater who's not moving anytime soon. My work and and extended family have me tied to the region in the near term.

Longer term, perhaps when I retire, I'll no longer be able to afford the high tax environment, and then, other locales will beckon.

Character used to be associated with restraint and forbearance. Now it seems less so.

I'm not sure why more of my brethren don't vote GOP. Along with Marco Rubio, I see no reason why you would vote to establish such a powerful central government, when you have just fled the kind of society that this philosophy produces.

With so many Asians being college-educated, I can't help but think that they are affected greatly by the received wisdom coming from these quarters. I went to college too, but I'm an outlier. While others bought into the liberal package of attitudes, I was always turned off by the whole victimization way of looking at things. Divide everyone into oppressors and victims. You get a star on your report card every time you apply that to anything.

I believe the MSM and Academia have successfully defined the GOP for most who vote Democratic. Once you join that team, it takes an awful lot of evidence to persuade you otherwise. If you are the least bit socially liberal, candidates like Mourdock and Akin don't help.

I couldn't download the podcast from iTunes on my PC, but I could request it directly on my iPhone through the podcasts app.
