Being Pushed to the Left

Wow.

The noise from the last summer has abated a little bit. The vitriol, however, has not. The so-called Tea Party Patriots, who say they want to take their country back, are really advocating taking the country back to the way it was, to its white ways, to its segregationist ways, to its racist ways, all those ways that we thought were so behind us.

They have Sarah Palin, whose slogan is immutably "common sense" (what does it mean anyway? It's not commonsense when people disagree. She needs to go back to high school) politics, but who really has nothing but a big hollow between her ears. Glenn Beck, whose historionics has the feeble-minded mesmerized, is nothing but a clown who will do anything for a laugh. And both of them are so loud.

Well, the more noise emanates from these people, the farther left I am pushed. And believe me I am not a lefty.
