Silk is Calde!

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I like that post about the myth being truer today. A very nice antidote for my cynicism. I voted for Obama, but I don't really believe the hype, even though I would like to.

One things for sure, (and no offense to you in particular Matt)
we need to stop labeling ourselves as Conservative or Liberal.
We as a people have so much common ground, we shouldn't let extremists get away with polarizing WE into US & THEM.  They pull us away from our commonality.

Furthermore, they're sort of useless.  "Conservatives" usually espouse "Liberal" economics.  "Liberals" often unwittingly support policies that reek of modern fascism.

Anyone, with ANY sense, is conservative about some things and liberal about others.
