Being boisterous and loud (ie hysterical) has worked for Liddy, Savage, Boortz and others on the right hand side of the aisle. People can't get worked up about anything delivered in flat monotones. Ever been to an evangelical church service?

What I'm getting at is that not all people respond to reasoned, quiet input. They snooze through it. Sometimes a slap up-side-the-head is in order.

I'm glad they launched a test balloon before legislating this attack on the BOR. It illustrates their thinking, if nothing else.

I don't deny this, but this type of motivation a quick fix at best and doesn't last very long. If, a few hours or days later, they cannot see through all the Jedi mind tricks -- the falsehoods, the fallacious reasoning, the appeals to emotion rather than facts -- that the liberals play on people, their euthoric emotional state will be quickly replaced by confusion, doubt, and (eventually) frustration. That's a major reason why I think Rush Limbaugh is so effective. He explains these tricks, and does so in an entertaining manner that keeps his audience interested.
