It's long and you have to be able to understand studies and stats.

Stuff like that drives me crazy. In a somewhat related note. I am currently reading "Next" by Michael Crichton in which he opines that "peer review" - the things that's suppossed to tell people wether research is of any quality or not - is becoming quite the joke.

Nothing like supporting the argument.

Don't even get me started on 'Education' based studies. A travesty of scientific method.

Whoops

This is an effective trick of the Frankfurt School, a group of Jewish intellectuals who set out years ago to wage war on traditional white societies by deeming their ways to be "sick." A great example is the book, "The Authoritarian Personality." It basically says that natural, healthy approaches to life employed by whites for centuries is really "mental illness" that needs to be "cured."

What's the cure? Liberalism, Marxism, multiculturalism, feminism, Jewish control, etc.

You get the picture.

Take it easy. Moderation in practically everything, though boring, is best. Pure capitalism is bad. Pure socialism is bad. The USA has a struck a fair balance. Sometimes it leans left and sometimes it leans right – like children on a teeter-totter.

Since 1950, the fulcrum of that teeter-totter has moved so far left that the "right" is today further left than where the "left" started. Your typical "conservative" of 2007 supports basically what a liberal of 1950 supported, while a left-winger of 2007 is pioneering uncharted socially destructive territory. Through it all, very few people have even noticed that, and that's really the true victory of the left in America.

I give the concerned voter more credit. They are aware of history and understand that in some cases, the USA needed a dose of liberalism. I think that we tend to agree in that throughout the past several decades America has, as a whole, shifted to the left (except for that brief Reagan era.). Anyway, my opinion still holds, as far as I’m concerned. If the USA moves grossly to the left, and more people become more concerned with this move, then the people will push it back to the right.
