barrybarryquitecontrary.com, I don’t believe I said anything about Dr. Rossiter or his sublime study. If he proved scientifically that liberalism is a mental disorder, why haven’t his views been accepted by the mainstream?

(And don’t say the mainstream is a hotbed of liberal contempt for traditional values. Depending on the circumstances, the mainstream may move left or right, but either way, it’s where most people are swimming. That’s the very definition of mainstream. Count me among those who don’t like the fact that “mainstream” has been turned into a pejorative.)

Jay, My mirror is fine, thank you very much. You see, I just disagree with the Palin pick. I don’t think her supporters are crazy. Subtle, I know, but surely you can see the difference.
