my guess is it’s a combination of media saturation with individual’s predispositions.

myself, as a life long liberal/lefty until just a few years back, understand that it took several types of experiences for me to shift conservatively.

first it was the shock of the bombings in israel around 01,02 and noticing how my liberal/lefty friends in the arts and black community sympathized with the bombers and said negative things about israel. this led me to finally read ‘from time immemorial’ by joan peters which was quite the wake up call. i also began listening regularly to dennis prager on the way to work. since 01,02 i have listened regularly to several radio hosts which shifted my perceptions. i also was around an orthodox rabbi in a situaiton that made me see life very differently.

Rome grew greatest in its period of freedom - as a republic. But all that changed with the growth of government controls (a welfare state coined "bread and circuses"). The growth of taxation and government control destroyed the economy of Rome which allowed the barbarians to take over. The same thing is happening now.

They absolutely capture the mania that Obama's candidacy has stirred up for so many Americans. If Obama fails to win the Presidency a lot of these folks are going to need therapy. Keep up the good work! These pictures are fantastic. They absolutely capture the mania that Obama’s candidacy has stirred up for so many Americans.

Keep up the good work!

That first black-and-white one with the flags is an instant classic! I'm jealous: not being a Colorado resident or a Delegate, I couldn't get a ticket, so was relegated to prowling around outside. I too saw that nut with the naked boy mannequin on his shoulders, but couldn't get a good picture of him. Glad you captured the scene! Excellent photos from inside the line and inside the stadium!
