"... the hacks and the nutters ... The R's might have lost something long term because the whole party ends up looking as stupid and classless as the base." >You think that Republicans are classless and stupid. You call yourself a conservative. The things you post do not compute. I have not been able to determine whether you distort intentionally or simply cannot read critically. You wrote the above. You then have the gall to post another insulting criticism of me for pointing out your bizarre beliefs. I didn't claim in my rejoinder that it was mainstream, only that is was familiar and ordinary and ergo not radical. To be radical it has to be "out there." "Mainstream" is only one basis for comparison with "radical." The mainstream of people who object to the radical agenda of Obama are "hacks and the nutters" to you yet the few who don't recognise Obama as a radical are mainstream in your mind. Your are conservative in a relative way, compared to a leftwingnut you are conservative. Your strawman is what's off. I was pointing out your strawman. Your objection to having it pointed out is noted. Mindless partisanship is utterly opposed to critical thinking as is thus anathema to me. When would you like to start? Your posts are often merely blind criticism of moderate stances and partisan belittlement of conservatism. What I want is wisdom, which cannot be achieved without critical thinking. Good luck with that.
