Re: WashPo on Conservatism

It took the author over 2,200 words to reveal the shocking news that conservatives email each other and have meetings.

How is that possible? When you describe something as simple as a conservative blogger gathering like this:

The conference room is filled with young conservatives who gather around a table. Food from Chick-fil-A (founded by a prominent Christian leader ) is spread out in the back, under framed photos of Ronald Reagan and other movement heroes. It's the weekly "bloggers briefing" at the Heritage Foundation, the D.C. conservative think tank.

I guess it would be better to have a 60s radical and bomber speaking with photos of Che pamphlets on how the US is war Monger; self-help abortions and one square toilet paper use; power bars made from tofu and switch grass and hemp tea and an opening prayer from Jeremiah Wright. Yeah, that would fit the post nicely :-)

Isn't communication the whole point of the internet?
Really, disseminating porn was not the original intent.

Anyone have problems posting? After a while when I submit a post, it just goes to the home page without posting. What up wit dat?

Hi Eric
Heh..glitches evidently.
When I feel a long comment coming on (heh), I write it on my "Texican posts" word document, then copy paste it to the box provided. Then I have it for future reference also.
Your thoughts here are too good to lose.

Please, go yee therefore.....

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the nice words and the fine idea. I follow your posts with an evil grin, too :-\.

What this might imply is that only Liberal,Left Democrat members are homo sapiens of the 21 century.
Yet what is really telling is the fact that WaPo et al. cannot deal with the alternative media. That is even more telling. They get some prescious with their territory --they cannot stand competition. Well I say tough.
