1) Cuban American politicians sending police cars, with their sirens on, into black neighborhoods in Florida, to intimidate voters on election day, doesn't surprise me.

2) Politicians setting off pipe bombs or grenades that kill members of their following in order to make it look like opposition attacks, isn't a far reach to me.

3) For a journalist to get macheted or shot to death because some group doesn't like his journalistic slant isn't foreign to me.

4) To think that a Republican can get into the White House without a motivated Religious Right (instilling fear in us) and Cuban Americans offering up Florida, is naive.

5) To think that Barack Obama is going to get elected without the approval of the Louis Farrakhan and the Black Muslims (no matter how low a profile they keep) is naive.

6) To think that Hillary can get elected without convincing the electorate that she can go to war as quickly as any man, is naive...

7) I don't live in a Norman Rockwell painting
