...it's over...the Conservatives lost this battle long ago...what we've been dealing with for 40 years is the backlash, the reaction. They won't go peaceably, they won't accept graciously...but they've lost. We know this because there's a Black man, a nominally Black man but, especially, for them, a Black man all the same..in the White House and not a Pain of Pawlenty...the society has moved away from them...it's just that the rest of us accept it as a given, while these yahoos think they can hold back history...that's the reson they're particularly vicious to the point where we think they have more power than they really do...it's just that they're super-vocal so we think there are more of them than there are...I'm convinced that's the reason we have "Stand your Ground" Laws and cases like Trayvon Martin... Change always begins with a minority and spreads from there..and when you reach a tipping point, those who long for the old glory days panic and turn desperate...but it's too late and they know it...so they get petty and silly and nasty.... The first people who suggested that it would eb a good idea to stop practicing cannibalism met the same resistance, when through the same resistance till one day their society began to shift away from the old ways, at which point those who still wanted to eat people became desperate and nasty too. The Conservatives have lost...there will be a new conservatism...but they've lost some crucial ground.... --------------------- |
