Gunner,

Im curious as to why you wouldnt simply provide a link to the original
article and then perhaps state your opinion, and / or ask others what
their
own opinion might be ???

Regards,

HAHAHAHA!!Hahahaha..hohoho...ho...

Shirley you jest. Welcome to the New American Century Lite, the
all-editorial right-wing news service from Gunner. g

Gunner has not been paying attention. The conservative revolution
happened
25 years ago, it was called the Reagan revolution. That happened after
the Liberal political philosophy sputtered to a stop, out of gas, and dead
in the
water. What we are seeing now is the same thing happening to the
conservative
revolution. Each political swing, when it goes too far, eventually
crashes
and burns.
It is interesting to watch. ;-)

Pete.



Well, if anyone has any idea about how to watch it, I'd be interested in
hearing about it.

As a former PR and advertising man, all of the supposed judgment about where
American political opinion is headed has a very familiar ring to it. It's
like a soufflé: all air, with an egg or two holding the concoction together
and making it look like something substantial, but which disappears in front
of your knife when you try to cut into it.

Both the right and the left seem bereft of substance and focus their efforts
in convincing someone (themselves, mostly) that they represent the *real*
trend in American opinion. After that comes relentless attacks on the other
side, couched in the degenerative style of the day, which, above all, in
sneering dismissiveness.

So neither the right nor the left really has anything to tell us that's
worth listening to. Or, if they do, it's so buried in their polemical crap
that an ordinary reader can't tell where the meat is in the stew. When you
try to "balance" your information by reading the polemicists on both sides,
as Gunner says he does, it's like sitting in your living room on a balmy day
in May with your heat on full blast and your air conditioner turned all the
way up to balance it.

I'd rather just open the windows.
