>>And goes WAY beyond what these "fringe zealots" really are: people who believe, as did the framers of the Constitution, in the separation of church and state. Wrong. The framers of the Constitution said no such thing. They forbade the establishment of a state religion. The separation concept is a fairly recent concoction of judicial activists.

YU TOO, HILLARY? Homage to Hillary Now we have a motive for why the Communist Chinese government may have been willing to spend millions of dollars to infiltrate the Clinton White House. What better place to learn the art of propaganda, and from Hillary Rodham Clinton, no less! Veteran Chinese propagandist Yu Quanyu, director of the press and media institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, urged Communist Party officials recently to educate themselves in Western propaganda skills, citing as a blueprint speeches given by the first lady. Mr. Yu's extraordinary observations are quoted in the journal Ideological and Political Work Studies and reprinted in the Far Eastern Economic Review, which made its way to Washington. Mr. Yu, you see, is highly impressed with Mrs. Clinton's speeches before the masses, particularly her addresses to the international women's forum in Beijing in 1995. Each speech, he noted, lasted "15 minutes each time, winning seven or eight rounds of applause each." More astonishing, Mr. Yu noted, was that Mrs. Clinton's addresses contained little or no substance and had no reasoning whatsoever. Instead, he said, they were "aimed at merely winning applause and votes." Mr. Yu said Chinese propagandists, in homage to Mrs. Clinton, must "assimilate certain skills" as demonstrated by the first lady, so as to "engage in a public opinion struggle with our political adversaries." -- washtimes.com (Published in Washington, D.C. 5am -- February 17, 1998 By John McCaslin THE WASHINGTON TIMES)

I am amazed that so many people cannot see through the bogus definition of the "political spectrum". With the "heathen left" and "Christian right" placed as straw dog ideological opposites, it's no wonder that the majority crowd in the "radical center". I agree with FT about the need for a viable Libertarian Party. The real political spectrum is freedom vs the power of the state. To the "heathen left" I say: "Keep your hands off the free market and out of my wallet. Your regulations, controls, extortionate taxes and welfare state socialist policies are failed relics of a bygone era." To the "Christian right" I say: "Don't try to impose your theocratic dogma and moral code on me. My lifestyle choices are not yours to dictate or legislate." I don't care if Slick boinked Monica or anyone else. What really bothers me about this farce is the damage done to the Office of the Presidency. The White House should be occupied by someone with class, someone who people can respect, regardless of policy differences. Such individuals seem to be a rare commodity in politics these days.
