Yes, they really do think they have all the answers...it’s more about them...well with BOR it’s ALL about him!
Ugh!!!!
Trouble is, intellectually each represents an ideology from which fall out a logical unpacking of fundamental premises. The doctrines of liberalism and conservatism fit together like puzzle pieces within their respective worldviews, but parts from one cannot be interchanged with parts from another. They are like oil and water.
Thus, BOR in his ungainly straddling act of "no spin" and yet doing it in a such a manner that he himself has a political leg in the pool rather than as detached and academic (which would not make for good broadcasting to a popular audience), ends up playing the fool.
