Yes, more politics. It's very "top of mind" at the moment. Can't wait until Tuesday, and then hopefully Obama can go back to doing his job...
What's weird is "conservative" used to mean level-headed, sober, practical. But it has totally morphed in the Age of Obama into: hysterical, paranoid, illogical, anti-intellectual, anti-rational, anti-scientific. Conservative Ideology has devolved into a strange, self-absorbed cult. You can't debate it or argue with it. And it is at war with myths and straw men.
It's strange, and not healthy for our country. You do hope that there is some kind of "eye-opener" that will change the dynamic. But it looks like it will take more than just another Obama term to turn the tide. Demographics seem to favor the progressive movement: empowerment of women, hispanics, gays, african americans. The more our social agenda pushes forward, the more out of step conservatives become. Do they get crazier, or maybe do they have a re-think? Probably in the short-term crazier...
