    I see... a vast right-wing conspiracy

    So, 33-year old Wil, in spite of his appreciation of his father’s considerable accomplishments and intelligence, is unwilling to consider that perhaps, just perhaps, his father’s wisdom might extend to politics as well. No, dear old dad been taken in by talk radio, which means that Wil can dismiss any ideas that do not conform to his own narrow, liberal world view as espoused by the “impartial” media (NY Times, CBS, et al). Polarize the country? Hey, here’s a clue, Wil: the country has always been polarized; we just never used to hear the non-left point of view. Now we do, and the left doesn’t like it one little bit, do they? I especially like how he managed to slip in that dirty (to liberals) little word, “profit” as if that’s all the evidence any thinking reader could possibly need to confirm the nefarious right-wing plot to destroy America.
