Political correctness is just as ugly when conservatives practice it as it is when done by liberals. Don’t be afraid of debate or opposing views.

It’s those “Independents” Stupid. Those three-headed donkeys who will decide the next election. If Sarah Palin is unable to pull them along, it’s over.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, upsdriver. On that point, we are in complete agreement. However, there's a "yeah ...but" coming. :-)

The history of the author (whom I have pinged as a courtesy, hopefully not in vain) is such that he doesn't bother to engage us in a followup give-and-take. The article was posted and then he vanished into the ether. That's why I characterized it as a "hit piece" in the sense that it was a hit (possibly to draw reaction, which it has done) followed by a run. If he does come back to participate in a reasonable discussion, then I'll humbly withdraw the objection I made in post #21.
