" I needn’t repeat my argument that the aim of the New Left, having adopted “progressivism” as its retro face, and having strategically moved its base back into the Democratic party among the “liberals” it once spat at for being hopelessly bourgeois and unwilling to engage in the kind of immediate, violent happenings of the radical set, has been to soften the face of radicalism, reframe it as “moderate” by dint of empty populism, and to package it for the masses in a pleasing and “historically important” candidate — one who represents the apotheosis of the progressive strategem: a young, charismatic minority candidate who promises hope and change without having to answer to how he plans on bringing such about, a man whose appeal is based on soaring oratory, the multiculturalist PC push of our media, corporate, and and educational institutions, historical timeliness of his candidacy (and its supposed “symbolism” and how such symbolism will be embraced by the “rest of the world”), and the outward advocacy of a progressive media culture trained with activism in mind by our “top” journalism schools."
Where we're going with this? One more sentence...
" If and when what some are calling the “Cold Civil War” comes, it will be fought along ideological lines between neo-Jacksonians and the coastal elites — the former not wishing to be ruled by the latter, and the latter indignant that the former would refuse to be so ruled, and absolutely adamant that they will no longer be subject to the “ruling” whims of their inferiors."
There's 20 posts, there, from most of us. And we still wouldn't have said the right thing.
Two freakin' sentences.
I think I checked off every category except, maybe, Baseball.
Oh...my World Series pick, Phillies over the Rays in 6.
And, PacMan was suspended, indefinitely, for drunken brawling. With his bodyguard. That'll cost the Titans a 5th round pick to the Cowboys. For sending them that worthless piece of crap.
Can we just call up Floyd Reese and chew him out, for old time's sake?
