I don't know about that. They get a leftist media enema repeatedly every day. Why should they be full of anything?

I was talking about everybody, not one side or the other. We're all FOS, to some extent. Nobody knows everything, nobody has a lock on the right opinion, so all this is just loud clatter proving absolutely nothing. I simply enjoy the back and forth.

That's not how I see it. Right or wrong on either side the anti has been raised and the future is what is at stake. And it's happening in real time now. When caught between two extremes their gravity evaporates the middle ground. It will by it's nature involve us all. If nothing else should have made the extremes palpable to you the last 10 years should have. There was nothing normal or business as usual about them for D.C. or the nation. The divide is real and growing.

We have the advantage of being retired and nearer the end than even the middle. But both of us have too much to risk and it's in terms of our children's and grandchildren's and now greatgrandchildren's lives. We can't pretend it's going away like everyone just pretended that public education pushing the victim agenda of Maoism would be dispelled by college, or life. Those who believe the ends justify the means exist on both sides and they are going to have their day.

The challenge may appear to be that of the next generation, but what it really is, is the unsettled business of our generation. As long as we draw breath we have an obligation.

Now I was joking with the post, but I'm sure as hell not joking about this.
