FYI. Any thoughts on this?

A pretty good article. I can see the dichotomy between oposing the Left and opposing the State, but it's only useful to a point, since so much of the Left is incorporated into the State. Often, to oppose one is to oppose both.

I'm not sure I believe that this fully "explains a lot of the debates we are having here," but it may shed light. It's important to keep in mind Tip O'Neill's saying, "politics is local."

I think much of the contention, at least that in my observation, is regional. Not all national problems affect the entire nation equally. This isn't addressed in an "opposing the Left" vs. "opposing the State" scenario.

Good read, though. Thanks for the ping.
