They always provide a clearer and fairer picture of the situation than any other source I read.<br /><br />But, I do hope you return to theory soon. I would like to read your latest replies to Carrier's objections and others.<br /><br />LukeLukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968634190280933116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-55298742384875859462009-08-12T11:19:37.264-06:002009-08-12T11:19:37.264-06:00I believe this is the culmination of all the hate ...I believe this is the culmination of all the hate that has been preached by the likes of Coulter, Malkin, Hannity, Limbaugh, Savage, etc.<br /><br />These extremists protesters are conservative supremacists: they believe the only legitimate outcome of an election is theirs.<br /><br />You see this when you hear Beck shouting about this not being the change <i>we</i> (i.e., he and his followers) voted for. Of course it isn't, because Beck didn't vote for Obama and the Democratic Congress. It's as if all other Americans who disagree with them don't exist. You see the same thing with the protesters showing up to predominantly Democratic districts that elected a Democrat shouting that the representative works for "them" and expecting that to mean the rep. should ignore the rest of the constituents and do precisely what they want.<br /><br />It is a sad reality there is a core constituency of the Republian party (which overlaps with its Christian nationalist base) which views the election of a Democratic president - under any circumstance - as illigitimate. Hence the polls showing large percentages of Republicans not even believing the President is a US citizen.Hume's Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551684109760430351noreply@blogger.com
