Separate but What?

I think of Ann Coulter, Rush, the others…and I say, sure, the gimmick used to work…

The problem with the howlings of the right is the judgmental brimstone.

They don’t see it as fervor, but that’s all it is. An addiction to adrenalin.

A very large fear danced very large.

People, especially black and white thinking people, want to feel separate and better. I understand it. I want to feel separate and better, too. But I fight it. Strive all, sure. But why not give other people health care, too, while you go after your mania? Or understand people who are not as strong or as smart as you are? Or as thin or as energetic or as assertive. Or as greedy.

You are not better. Get off the fear wagon and join us. We’ll have you. Jump in. Use your intelligence to solve problems. Do not to run away from challenges with your smiling chime, “The free market will take care of it.”

You’re smart people. Help out. Join us. Make it all work better. Get in there and figure out some efficient ways to do things. And we’ll grow on that.
