I read Newsweek once in a while, and I've been reading the letters in our newspaper. I'm surprised at the lack of depth in some of the would-be reflective souls producing these letters.
For example, in last week's Newsweek a Republican (They usually say "I'm a Republican but...") wrote about how green his party is. Was. Teddy Roosevelt was green enough to turn vast tracts of the US into parkland for us to preserve and enjoy. Now they're building condos on those parks. Republicans are, because they're the ones benefitting from the real estate 'boom'. Banks, financiers, big machine dealers, lumber cutters and DuPont (that wrappy stuff around your house under the siding).
And what was going on when Nixon signed the Clean Water and Clean Air acts? This Republican hero had no real political power, his government was controlled by Democrats who wrote the bills and passed them.
The delusionists on the other side have a lot of reconciling to do. They're so bad they're even betraying the Nixon legacy by putting bullets in his Clean Air Act.
