This left-leaning African-American single-mom Northern-progressive watches you every night. I love the enigma in you, and came to greatly appreciate you (and your wife and her six girlfriends) during Katrina - for God's sake, Man, you got off your ass and from behind your desk and did something for the people in the Gulf Coast who were truly suffering!
Mr. Scarborough is absolutely correct in a political world that has bastardardized the meaning of the world "absolute" - you're "either for us or a'gin' us", "absolutely no room to point out the flaws and failings of the people in charge (Republican Loyalists), or "heaven forbid we actually stand up the Administration [and to Queen Hillary] when its wrong and come up with creative, workable solutions, rebuild the Party from the ground up locally, work to make the red states bluer, including the South, and risk what? Losing elections?" (um, that would be the Democrats).
If you listen to the talking heads on TV and radio, one would believe that our country is split down the middle, politically polarized to the point of paralysis. This Just Ain't So in the populace. The vast majority of us are moderates-leaning either left or right-where we stand being determined by where we sit at the nation's dinner table determined by class and economics, the two determinations that become less fluid and mobile more and more every day.
I'm lucky to reside in a state that on in statewide elections i can actually consider-and vote for-a Republican candidate. This will not last if the media and the Grand Boobahs of the Special Interest groups continue to shove their Agendas-whole down the throats of those interested in becoming elected officials and journalists - no deviation for the platform allowed.
Oh, we won't go back to Jim Crow, Wire Hangers, and Sweatshops as the Democrats threaten will happen, nor will we go forward with humans marrying dogs, women getting government-sponsored abortions in the dressing rooms of T.J. Maxx or Queen Hillary and her all-girl cabinet calling for mass castration and concentration camp banishment of all men.
We just won't go forward anymore.
We have lost ground and will continue to do so long as we fight amongst ourselves, as we continually buy into the "if you vote for me and follow us and don't question or call or criticize or take issue, "for-or-a'gin".
Stay where you are Joe. Keep doin' what ya' do best. Good guys always come out on top. Besides, FOX has enough parakeets. Continue to speak your mind. Call 'em all on their bullshit, left and right alike!
