The fact is the radical right is very good at propaganda. They have used race and cultural issues to hold their base and they have used anti-government rhetoric in an era of frustrated economic hopes and resentment to expand that base to majority status.

I am so sick of hearing shit like this. What is wrong with the liberals? Are they brain-dead? They know that the "radical right" is "good at propaganda" - so what do the liberals do? Stand around and piss on their own shoes. Liberal propaganda is even better than right-wing prop. It's not "them", you morons, it's YOU!

Damn, mumble mumble---sons a gurmbaleraoals sa !

My wife says that she used to think there was nothing worse than an old curmudgeon. Now she knows an old commie curmudgeon is way worse. I just frown and shake my fist...from across the room...

Heh, we got a few things in common.

They're stuck with us now. My sweetie will probably have a normal life after I croak, no more snakes in the basement, Beefheart on the cd or Capital on the dining room table.
