It was just my opinion. But then I am a far left liberal yellow dog Democrat who doesn't even let his kids play with Republicans :)>. When I was running for the state legislature years ago and campaigning with Fran Ulmer running for the lieutenant governor's position I told her that. But she won and I lost-lol.
The only thing George Will ever made me think is what a scumbag he is because he is William F Buckley reincarnated i..e. the right wing's pseudo intellectual and apologist for the Republican Party.I constantly found him either lying , slanting the truth, or defending the indefensible which usually meant hurting people..
But then I have yet to find a right-winger I had any respect for. That may sound like a radical idea to you, but I have studied the right wing philosophy, in-depth, for 50 years and what I found is there, is no there, there, only primitive, simplistic ideology that helps the rich and hurts the poor.
But H.P. Lovecraft said it better than I ever could about the Republicans:
H.P. Lovecraft > Quotes > Quotable Quote
“As for the Republicans -- how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would contravene some vague and mystical 'American heritage'...) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead.”
