He seems reasonable to conservative males because he is just like you, I suspect. But to someone standing on the outside of his narrow panorama of what should be encouraged in society, he is too extreme.

Just to give you an example of the kind of thinking I'm talking about (not related to Bennett, specifically)... some conservative pundits were on the McLaughlin show talking about imported worker quotas. McLaughlin made a statement something like, -we need to restrict these quotas, high tech companies should train inner city youths for IT staff jobs, this will cut down on the welfare rolls-. I have heard Bennett make the same kinds of statements with regard to work-fare and welfare, etc. The sad truth is however, that the schools in the inner city (among other things) have failed this group so miserably that technical work is out of the question for them. Does he really think mid-level IT management can be expected to shoulder the burden of training an inner-city workforce? I mean how out of touch can you be?
