We got a sore philosophical split going on, as represented by the bitter battle between Donald and Ted. I don’t know if this is cutting into support, but I’ve heard talk along those lines.
If Ted is failing, I think it represents the failure of a church-state mixture model. We’ve expected too much out of the state. The state, in many ways, is sitting in conceptual seats that the church as private entity should have been occupying. I’ve been trying to sell this view on FR, but it’s a hard view to sell.
Thank you very much, HiTech RedNeck!!
