Is there honor in blind obsequiousness to ideology? Radicalism is the spice that seasons our Republic. It shouldn't be the meat. Patrick Henry said "Give me liberty or give me death". Benjamin Franklin said "We must, indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." God bless 'em both. The worst nightmare of both lib ideologues and con idealogues is that of pragmatists hanging together to realign our corrupt two-party system. I love to dream of their nightmares. :)
