Open Threads

Open Sesame
Close Sesame
If only it was as simple as "enter" or hit any key,
but nevertheless the pages turn *. I have left open the past-or-gate**, and not closed many threads before, but for the time being, I will link to a comment that is rather fanciful or touching on a few ideas that weave through the myth of history.
[I started out this thread not knowing where I was going, but feeling that we had been there before. We had and Will be, still? (as noted here)]

* speaking of the afterlife, some links are dead (Red Labeling - Obama Baiting -)[valid reference- lost truthout link] yet we are about to move on [Hillary?].

** Obama has left one church, Lieberman may be considering affiliating with another

[lastly from below link - and to above few ideas:
Real conservatism cannot aspire to lofty principles, because its task is to defend what already exists. The conservative dilemma is that conservatism's legitimacy can come only from being proved right by events, whereas liberals, whenever they are proved wrong, have universal principles to fall back on. Samuel Huntington has always held liberal ideals. But he knows that such ideals cannot survive without power, and that power requires careful upkeep.]
