Buckley (now that he’s safely, respectably dead, of course.)" Yes, good point. I have seen the same thing going on with Reagan in recent years. Once they are dead, and no longer pose a clear and present danger, the left feels they can safely de-fang the former enemy of the party. This is one way to render the potential inspirational figure harmless; emphasize their more agreeable moments and sweep their powerful message under the rug. This is why it's important to keep these people relevant. What a difference it might make if all of today's voters understood the grace and standards represented by the REAL George Washington instead of him being the funny guy in the used car ads, and on the money. “More importantly, I’m intrigued by your strange new affection for William F.

Once a little thing like you have them in a half-Nelson, squeezing them until they cry uncle is just plain old rude, but, very funny. You go girl and feel free to kick some Progressive booty while you are at it. Remember, the truth to a Progressive is like garlic to a vampire. Kathy,

Do they even know who William Strunk, Jr. is? The main subject discussed in our local newspaper has been Gay rights. The journalist are scrambling to see who corporate retains while this state cuts back programs to help seniors even before the Feds decide whatever it is they plan on doing. Thanks.

Evidently, these supreme beings fail to recognize that soon their platform will rot beneath them and they will be lined up with the rest of us seeking bread and water. They cling to the past, forgetting the future has arrived. Anymore, Kathy, one suspects those writers who declare within their background an elitist education are quite lacking in common sense.
