Based on ratings, many conservatives crave it. Another well thought out post by the Chuckster, thanks. A core set of policies and values is what brings a political movement or party together initially and gives it strength. The amalgamation that is the Democrat party is falling apart be cause the core policies and values does not exist. The core constituency that was the Democrat party has been pushed to the edges and the various single issue factions have moved into the middle of the party. The end result is that the Democrat party will become a collection of extremist fringe groups. Air America is the vocal tool of the extremist fringe groups within the Democrat party. We almost agree on this. The core constituency of the old Democratic party, (Zell Miller, et al) has been absorbed into the GOP. A lot of the old-time Democrats would be more comfortable today in the GOP. You are correct. Conforming to a common set of values builds a strong organization. That's why liberals are taking a political beating in most areas, we are often very poor conformists. :-) Different people will place higher and lower values on participating in a group vs. following dictates of individual conscience. Because the only important verdict about who or what you are is that of the guy/gal looking back from you in the mirror, whether one takes solace and comfort in the "group" or hangs out on the "fringe" its perfectly right and OK, either way. |
