Yes. Hillary believes it is good politics (being close to power and all that) to stick with a philandering husband. Rudy believes it is good politics to have multiple marriages/adulteries. That ain't much but it's the best I can do.

Perhaps they're meeting at the Citadel because, after resisting pressure to do so, the Citadel finally caved in and began accepting female cadets several years ago. Therefore the Citadel is now politically correct (to an extent) in the left wing imagination, and is to them a symbol of 'social progress', and another site of an important leftist victory over tradition, much like Central High School in Little Rock is now a monument to leftist propaganda, almost a civil rights potemkin school.

'Why did nobody comment on my brilliant “persistent pervasive perversion of political perception” in a previous column?'

I didn't comment on it because, despite it's almost tongue twisting character, it seemed to be one of those phrases so to the point and so obviously true (and succinct) that it needed no comment.

What is weirdest is that supposedly the war in Iraq is the biggest issue today .... yet the last presidential election consisted of the candidate who started the war vs. the candidate who argued that the war should be waged differently, with more multinational support.

And even as all the chatter centers on debate about the war, & all the good little leftists are squawking about "Bush Lied - Thousands Died", etc.... it looks like the next election will consist of one pro-war candidate vs. another pro-war candidate.

If Benito Giuliani were nominated, of course, what we would have is not only one pro-war candidate vs. another, but also one pro-choice candidate vs. another....

I'm not sure if Giuliani getting nominated might not be a good thing -- to expose the fallacy of the System.

A few people might actually wake up and "get it", though I fear many more would *still* continue to keep rationalizing themselves into the safe state of bovine docility.

Well said Clyde, and I recall that famous quote of George Wallace regarding the difference between the parties.
Also, you are right about Jack Kemp being chummy with former Buffalo Bill and murderer Simpson, no doubt he saw some votes to be pandered for in the black community. It would have been more appropriate for Kemp to pose with his contemporaries like fullback Cookie Gilchrist and wide receiver Elbert "Golden Wheels" Dubenion from the 1960's glory days of the Bills---but then, Jack was serious about trolling for votes.
It is worth mentioning while on the subject of old football players, that John Unitas, Alan "the Horse" Ameche, Charlie Connerly, Sammy Baugh, Sonny Jurgenson, Y.A. Tittle, Sam Huff, Mike Ditka, et al, seemed to avoid criminal charges of hiring assassins to kill a pregnant girlfriend or sponsor dog fights and such. Neither did Huff and Ditka dance like inebriated turkeys over the player tackled (usually roughly), they acted like honorable sportsmen and knew that tackling is what they were paid to do.
Things have changed.

"Also, the minuscule counterrevolutionary right seems only bound by what it opposes. How many incompatible ideologies/groups do we have in this writeback alone? I suppose what really matters is the American people, but I don’t think they are much less divided. Perhaps as diversity increases a Western core, or some alliance of odd groups, will arise in reaction that most of us here would view as an improvement though not ideal. "

I agree with Frank is that the right is too much percieved as a bunch of cranky fogeys. We define ourselves by what we oppose.

This election cycle instead of voting for the lesser of two evils, I will vote for a Good. The only way we will get anywhere is by having a positive message about where we want to go.

This year I am supporting Ron Paul. It is the first political campaign that has really inspired me. Lighting just one candle....

Giuliani seems more ideologically bound to open borders than does Hilary. I'm opposed to abortion, but I don't think about it until the immigration requirement is filled, and I realise some find this abhorrent. Hopefully Al Gore will run... If Tancredo, Hunter, or Paul can't win, Gore might well be the best possible candidate though I think he'll need to enter the primary soon if he's to have a chance. (I doubt he'll enter.) Oh well it doesn't how we vote, but maybe those of us here can fight the identity, culture, and religion wars. "The people" can fight the globalist elite as the recent rejection of amnesty proves.

Hillary Clinton is more likely to get removed from office by a coup d’état, and that alone makes her the more palatable candidate.

Obama would be far more likely to be removed via a coup d'etat, though I think such a thing is like playing Russian roulette. And presently all the chambers but one have bullets, so if possible fighting demographics and the culture war is perhaps the best strategy. Also, the minuscule counterrevolutionary right seems only bound by what it opposes. How many incompatible ideologies/groups do we have in this writeback alone? I suppose what really matters is the American people, but I don't think they are much less divided. Perhaps as diversity increases a Western core, or some alliance of odd groups, will arise in reaction that most of us here would view as an improvement though not ideal.

Jack Kemp is actually from Los Angeles. At least give him credit for sticking around Buffalo after his retirement. How many other Angelenos would have? On the other hand, he once called football "capitalist" and soccer "socialist" on the House floor. Anyone who's read up on stadium financing will recognize that that statement is the opposite of the truth.

Michael said: "Most questions of any seriousness are now decided by judges rather than by elected representatives or executive officers, so in a sense it hardly matters who is elected. Any effort to address such matters by “democratic” means is bound to be defeated by the combined efforts of legislature and executive to punt issues with which they do not want to contend to the judiciary. They’ll say what they think pleases their constituencies but never, never act on what they say. It is much simpler to let someone who seldom or never has to run for re-election decide any controversy that is bound to leave a large number of people unhappy with the decision. "

So true. How foolish these "loyal, Republican conservatives" are who think their faith in George W. Bush will be vindicated when his new Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. And how betrayed they'll feel when Chief Justice Roberts (who has closet liberal written all over him) casts the deciding vote in upholding the right to abortion on demand.

The judiciary truly are our unelected ruling elite. And not just the Federal courts, either. Witness the incredible sovereignty-overriding power of transnational judges like those of the World Trade Organization, which our own elected leaders created.
