>>>One of the strengths of the right is it's military discipline. But that also discourages free thinking.<<< Very good point! And this probably explains why academia, more than not, comes down on the side of Democrats.

Your "views" were already creaking in the 1920s and 1930s, discredited by the 1940s and 1950s, embraced by a new generation of bankrupt "intellectuals" during the 1960s, instituted into universities by the 1970s and 1980s, politicized by the Clinton Administration in the 1990s and became the foundation of the New Left Socialist-Democrat-Statists at the dawn of the new millennium. The so-called innovative ideas are stale retreads of the Marxist-Leninist political philosophy that drove the Russian Revolution.

Too bad I'm not on the "right" or the "left." You guys are all two-dimensional and linear thinkers. I am in the Jeffersonian camp and Jefferson is nowhere on your narrow ideological, imaginary line. :) I get the "talking points" sent to me via e-mail every week from the DNC. I subscribe to their newsletter to see what they are up to. It is amazing how on almost every issue the media uses the same words I get in the DNC e-mail in advance, sometimes the exact same words. Just a coincidence, I guess. :-D
