Election aftermath. Doug and Skip agree with Ann Marie’s guest post that notes
As we try to play catch up to the Democrats, one area that continues to fly under the radar screen is our public education system. This is a system that continually indoctrinates children into the ideals of liberalism. This is a system that Republicans have virtually washed their hands of. Yet this is the most pressing issue we face.
It is hard to run behind this indoctrination program and do repair work. It is best avoided when the indoctrination is not allowed to be conducted in the classrooms.Check out this post over at GilfordGrok.com about the play "UrineTown" being presented by the government school students in the ‘Grok’s hometown. Indoctrination? Sure looks like it. Will anyone rise up and say anything? How many young children showed up from school announcing their "support" for Obama, much to the chagrin of their parents? The battle for America takes place in the Nation’s schools…

Our buddy John Hawkins of RightWingNews (RWN) & the Conservative Grapevine joins us for some free-wheeling chat about "what’s next" for America, the war, the Republican Party, and the conservative movement. What are "The Top 7 Reasons Why The GOP Can’t Build A Political Party Around Moderates?" John wrote several good posts about the future of the right side of the Blogosphere and its place in the aforementioned topics. We’ll also discuss what Skip and I believe is the attempted destruction of Sarah Palin by the establishment of the Republican Party, fearing her populist conservatism much like they did with Ronald Reagan.

Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta checks in and gives us his take on the election and what Granite Staters can expect in the upcoming two years. What challenges will he face as he leads his city through these perilous economic times and what is the best thing he can do to help his citizens? We’ll also talk about the landslide passage of a tax cap in Rochester and what the next step is for the Manchester cap. Oh yeah, as proponents of a gubernatorial run by the Mayor in the last cycle, believing him to be a credible and exciting candidate able to give Gov. Lynch a run for his money, we’d be remiss if we didn’t ask him about a run in 2010…

In Wednesday’s WSJ Opinion Journal, investigative reporter/lawyer Jeffrey Scott Shapiro wrote a great piece entitled "The Treatment of Bush Has Been a Disgrace– What must our enemies be thinking?" In it he noted,
It seems that no matter what Mr. Bush does, he is blamed for everything. He remains despised by the left while continuously disappointing the right.
Yet it should seem obvious that many of our country’s current problems either existed long before Mr. Bush ever came to office, or are beyond his control. Perhaps if Americans stopped being so divisive, and congressional leaders came together to work with the president on some of these problems, he would actually have had a fighting chance of solving them.

Our failure to stand by the one person who continued to stand by us has not gone unnoticed by our enemies. It has shown to the world how disloyal we can be when our president needed loyalty — a shameful display of arrogance and weakness that will haunt this nation long after Mr. Bush has left the White House.
Yep. We couldn’t agree more. Almost since day one of his presidency, he’s been "damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t." Mr. Shapiro is an investigative reporter and lawyer who previously interned with John F. Kerry’s legal team during the presidential election in 2004. Earlier in his career, Shapiro investigated several crime stories on location including the JonBenet Ramsey murder case, the Columbine shootings and the disappearance of Chandra Levy. He is the author of "Kobe Bryant: The Game of His Life." Shapiro is best known for a story he published in The Washington Times’ "Insight on the News," about an FBI investigation concerning possible prior knowledge of the Sept. 11 attacks in the Arab-American community in New York City. The story also featured Shapiro’s own investigation, which led him to many mosques, foreign consulates and law enforcement agencies in New York and New Jersey in an attempt to track al-Qaeda’s presence in the area.
