New Anger is the narcissistic self in high dudgeon.

Nice description of Bill Clinton's eruption at Chris Wallace.

"Analyzing the disagreement between libertarians and liberals as to whether the two sides have much in common and might make good political bedfellows,..."

The American use of the label "liberal" confuses things. Classic liberalism has a lot of common ground with libertarianism. What Americans now call "liberal", most of the rest of the world would call "socialist".

I love this line "New Anger is the narcissistic self in high dudgeon." I had to repost it. I know that many of us need to stop and realize this at times.

I would like to throw in this however, We see many things in this country as grave problems that non-freepers (and many republicans) do not. We have to get out of this static warfare (WWI or trench warfare) and do some real open field running if we are to save this country from choking itself to death.

I think it has something to do with sound bites. People are not constructing arguments, they are just trying to get attention by being outrageous.

'Substance' has gone out of our culture. and 'where there is no substance, there is emotion'.

The biggest punks and sissies on the planet are the people who cannot control themselves, or their emotions. They are a danger to everyone everywhere.
