So go ahead and post what makes you "crazy about the right wing..." It's the hypocrisy. The right-wing tends to articulate it's platform in terms of lofty principles, like states rights or family values. It's quite inspiring until you realize that they're principles of convenience. States rights my foot! That just meant that the Warren Court wasn't as friendly as the state courts for the issues that were in the interests of their constituents. I don't have any problem with self-interest politics. They can be up-front about it. It's hiding it behind principles that they apply only to their self interest that gets my goat. Like the deference to the state of Florida last month. They should either apply their stated principles evenly or quit waving the flag over them. Overgeneralizing again, of course. Karen

A question the thread might find amusing.... When I came of age, in the '70's, suspicion of and opposition to government marked one immediately as left-leaning and probably dangerously radical. Conservatives supported government, believed in government, rallied behind government. Now, of course, it is quite the opposite. Will the ascension of a conservative government reverse this equation once again? If it does, what will that say about the fundamental attitude of conservatives - and liberals - toward government?
