The Times is a well respected paper and while they may lean left...it is not far left, lets not get crazy here. Just because the baggers and the like keep pushing the political pendulum right doesnt mean the other side fails to exist. This political climate as a whole is making me f'ing sick lately because if anyone looks at things historically, far left right now is moderate 50 years ago and "middle of the road" right now wouldve been considered a G.Gordon Liddy Republican 25 years ago.
The Times, PBS, NPR-----Ever notice its anything "prize winning", "scholarly", or "thought provoking" the right tries to go after and vilify? I dont even want to make a partisan debate here and Im trying not to, and trying not to be nasty to you Beat but the idea and hearing it over and over from the talking heads and others alike just makes me sick. If its not Hannity or Boortz then its leftist and garbage. What a joke.
I find it interesting that compromise is always directed to the right as if something about leftist ideas is somehow pure and those who claim to be compassionate liberals are the first to use slurs against those who disagree with them and descend into name calling. The entire political system in this country has disentegrated into corruption and we are debating "principles"? What a laugh! I just finished preparing my tax return and my own nation disgusts me at the waste of honest money that takes place here. There is no political and little personal responsibility left.
My crew at the manufacturing plant is 65% black and none of them call each other African-American, just saying! I just call them by their name and/or nickname and everyone seems good with that. The best of the nicknames of my darker employees are Chuck (we have two of them and those names were given by whites to them), Chick Wayne, Living Dead, Bigfoot, Coop, and OP. My point is artificially seperating people with hyphenated names is not necessary when they all just see each other as co-workers. So what do they call me? The General, Big Guy, Boss, Cheese, Big Daddy and last but not least, Brother. It works for me!
