an intact brain (intact in a traditional Republican sort of way). Where have all the other reasonable and reasoned republicans like this gone? Although I may dissagree with him in several issues - it must suck to wake up and realize the administration he probably voted for in the last two elections are all scoundals. I sort of feel sorry for him (NOT!)
Current GOP Posture Dismays Republicans
Editor, Times-Dispatch: My concern with Judge Samuel Alito has never been with the man. He is most formidably good for all seasons. My concern is with the select group that brought about his nomination. It talks a mixed message. Its actions and inactions add to the variegate and sinister mixture.
Underneath the message, sort of cloaked by a superior smile, is a concerted effort to change the culture(s) to one that is desired by a very select sector of the country's population: the very rich and powerful people unconcerned with the U.S. as a country, who seek unconditional economic power and some fellow travelers with a very sick and selfish vision of morality.
This vision masquerades as Christian; but if ever a vision is touched with an infernal arrogance that promotes enslavement, this vision has it in spades -- or maybe pitchforks. It has nothing to do with Christian community.
I am a Republican. I am for people doing for themselves whatever they possibly can. The ideal government should be comparatively pea-sized. It should spend accordingly. In no sense should it undertake international objectives that lead to war or entangling alliances. It should not promote international economic optimization. Its allegiance should feature national objectives not the creation of a covert super-economy that penalizes people of the nation in both the short and long term to the advantage of external populations.
I am a Republican who endorses national economic sub-optimization vis-?-vis the balance of the world. I am a Republican who is sick to his stomach over the incompetence, the self-serving arrogance, the ignorance posing as wisdom, the parochial nonsense issued as a rationale for action, and the profligate spending for tin-whistle results that the current "Republican" posture and behavior represent.
