The Final Face-Off ... ( looks like it's going to be Hillary vs. Rudy)

The infallible Washington Times reports that up for sale is one of the most famous scenes of infantilism in the 20th century, "Woodstock." Actually, what is on the block is the late Max Yasgur's New York farm, 38 acres of which were used for the 1969 Woodstock music festival that hagiographers for the "1960s Generation" have ever since boomed as a pivotal event in American history. Such rock singers as Jimi Hendrix and Richie Havens got together before a stupefied crowd of some 500,000 eternal children to sing of peace, and freedom, and mind-numbing substances, even the most feeble of which have now been shown to be extremely deleterious to intellect and spirit. Better it would be to inhale Marlboros than to fool with the proscribed substances that eventually killed or demented many of the singers and attendees in that famous field.

As for "peace and freedom," wars have continued and the specific war that the troubadours of Woodstock had in mind ended only when our Democratic-controlled Congress broke an American pledge to send support to embattled South Vietnamese forces. The North Vietnamese communists beat them. .... Drunk and disorderly rockers never pacified any region I know of, and many have lived irritable and belligerent lives, leaving children and other loved ones in a hell of a mess. ........... As I have been noting of late, the aging 1960s generation -- divided as it has always been by its left-wing and right-wing -- is now facing its political swan song. The Republicans and the Democrats will probably nominate members of this generation to battle in 2008 one more time. Now the face-off is on again, probably with Hillary opposing Rudy.

Rudy isn’t a moderate, he’s a full-fledged liberal.

Rudy isn’t a moderate, he’s a full-fledged liberal.

Where exactly in this post did I say Giuliani is a moderate? I said he appeals to the moderate independents.

Rudy haters is the term used to avoid having to deal with the myriad liberal positions Rudy has. Just as Clinton's critics were labelled "haters" to try and marginalize their valid criticisms of Slick's ethics (or lack thereof).

However, just as Clinton's critics were eventually proven correct by Slick himself, so does Rudy, week by week, show we are correct as well.
