One More Thing...

I just have a little something to add to McCoy's comments regarding the Right and their hatred for liberals. The problem is that this hatred of liberals has morphed into a movement that derides empirical evidence. The conservative movement used to be the bastion of reason as the left slided away from their heritage into post-modernism and utter relativism. Now it's the right that has embraced a world where facts are nothing more than the powerful's opinion. And by the powerful I mean that hulking, roid rage monster we all know as the liberal establishment -- which affirms my argument since we all know what was once a massive redwood from the New Deal until the late 70's is now nothing but a wilted weed. But the new Right is never above playing politics. And as Iraq, Katrina, and eventually global warming will show: when the Right play politics, they play with people's lives. Our lives.
