The Axis of Concern
For Dems, passionate intensity is the measure of political worth.

I say this with near-metaphysical certitude. If Martha Stewart had made her name in the 1980s, she would have been more reviled than Nancy Reagan, Pic Botha, Kurt Waldheim, and Michael Milken by those eager to portray the Reagan years as a dimension of Hell straight from Dante's Inferno. Think about it. Not only is Stewart a rich go-go businesswoman, but she makes her money from encouraging women to bake, knit, and sew! Who cannot see that she would have been denounced regularly by the Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, and the Anna Quindlen crowd. "She's an Aunt Tom to the Patriarchy!" they would declare. "She masks the stink of multinational capitalist male oppression with pleasingly arranged bowls of potpourri!"
