Public debate (using the term in a very loose sense) on the two major American presidential candidates seems to be dancing on the ragged edge of reality these days. <BR/><BR/>One more thing, re. the term "fascist." I'm not sure where that came from. I avoid using it, unless the person or idea actually is fascist - and there are precious few of those around these days. <BR/><BR/>I suppose that some on all sides of politics use it indiscriminately - what's generally meant by "fascist" apparently is "arbitrary" or "unreasonable." More often, I think, "fascist" is used as a simple expletive.Brian H.

I THINK I understood what he was trying to convey and you seem to as well.<BR/><BR/>"America now has one more national figure who is perpetuating the idea that people who voice disagreement with urban liberals are "poor, uneducated, and easily led."<BR/><BR/>We also have right-wing pundits like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter mischaracterizing Democrats on a far more regular basis. <BR/><BR/>I'm not an unbalanced, anti-American, unpatriotic, far left loon fascist as these people would have you believe. I'm simply a concerned U.S. citizen and moderate Democrat who is fed up.Ruinous Righthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413479090758779994noreply@blogger.com
