The Value Of An Apology, At Least From A Republican's Perspective!!
"SMS" wrote in message ... Rol_Lei Nut wrote: Savageduck wrote: Agreed. This is the very issue I have tried to explain to many of the blind followers of Fox and the talk show right. If they are working stiffs, and march in lockstep behind the Faux pied pipers, they are doing so in opposition to their best interests, not to mention the best interests of the nation. Shhh.... Speaking the truth is "communist"!!! While it's true that they are acting against their, their children's, and the country's best economic interests, for many of them it goes beyond economics to g-d and guns (at least what they perceive g-d to want and at least what they perceive as a threat against their assault weapons). Yes. Mythologies over facts, beliefs over science, instincts over reality, nostalgia over accurate history, ideology over pragmatism - with a resulting "wish to return to simpler times" (read, "go back to when white middle class and higher males generally ruled the roost - and were free to make rather a bit of a mess of it for the rest"). Ugh. Give me a respect for knowledge and institutions and for social and environmental responsibility any day over "the good old days" (that way, we just may survive a bit longer, and do it in greater comfort...). --DR |
