The author may be well-meaning, but he's not too bright.

He indulges in the same totalistic attitude he's criticizing. Being opposed to environmentalism does not mean one wants to "destroy" the environment, of course.

The Kerry voters I spoke to assumed as a matter of course that voting for Bush meant you were either a hopelessly warped or a hopelessly misinformed individual, and in either case incapable of rational thought.


Their rational thought is that truth is relative and use that as their touchstone. Conservatives know there is a right and a wrong and there is an absoulue truch but it takes much effort to find that truth.........we are speaking different languages.

It is sad to see this happening in America, a country known in the past for the pragmatic, anti-ideological nature of its politics.

Say what? I've lived here all my live and this just isn't so. The Left has been rabid since 1968. Is the writer one of those Disenfrenchfried voters that Al Sharpton keeps mentioning?

When George W. Bush speaks of the need for forcefulness in fighting Islamic terror, he is wise; when he pretends that the dangers of global warming don't exist, he is foolish. Why can't one say that?

Shades of Tom Friedman.

This is nothing compared to the virtiol in the depression era between the two parties. It's just that today we have the Internet and cable news.

This hits on something I have been observing. It's as if people think that this is the first time this stuff has happened. People have no perspective on history. Our schools are really poor at teaching history and making people understand that there really is nothing new under the sun.

One can say that, but one would be wrong. George W. Bush has not said the "dangers" don't exist. He just hasn't leapt on the Kyoto treaty, nor has he agreed with the baseless pronouncements by leftists that the cause, if it does exist, is man-made and therefore can be fixed via the "solution" offered.

Why can't one say THAT without being called hateful?

The fact is the dems have devolved into a party of hate and do not like to deal with rationality or facts.

I don't know what it was like in Bush country. I wasn't in any of it on this visit.

Well you were cheated out of a good time! Here, let me fill you in:

We were confident, and we take less zoloft and prozac per captita here. We also didn't agonize all the time, b/c we're going to church once a week. Bush is not our god, just our president; at least once a week we thougt about what God wanted us to think about.

In NYC, you get the church bulletin every morning and its called the NY times ...; that church bulletin is a constant drumbeat of angst, worry, and depression. And people trust it. Why is that?

The country is split by what seem to be two mutually antagonistic and irreconcilable value systems - one urban, secular, liberal and post-modern, the other rural, religious, conservative and pre-modern.



The country isn't split. Bush got at least 40% support in 47 states.

There is a vocal fringe that can't stand Bush, and which chooses to split themselves from mainstream society. They are the hippies who protested the system, then took control of it, and now have lost that control.

flintlock pistols available in 1776 were entirely as concealable as a submachine gun is today and they were just as much legitimate military weapons. If you told they founding fathers that they surely must not have meant handguns in the 2nd amendment they would have laughed their asses off.... then challenged you to a pistol duel.

It's never been so. Politics has always been nasty, quite a bit nastier in the past in fact. I didn't notice Kerry challenging any of the Swift Vets to a duel, a likely outcome had charges of disloyalty and cowardice been made a couple centuries ago. And the charges would have been made far more forcefully.

A couple of these in the pocket would come in handy. Yes, the picture is a replica.

The Lafayette

A screw barrel flintlock derringer in .41 cal introduced prior to 1640 intended for close range defence shooting. This English origin derringer was made obsolete by the introduction of percussion cap derringers but was common up through mid 19th century.
