That won't happen again in our lifetimes. The baby-boomers have ensured that not only have they spent all of our money, they've spent all of our trust and good will. Reading some about the founder of neo-conservatism - Irving kristol - I find it ironic that despite his changing everything and bringing Reagan to power, his movement destroyed itself and is back to where he started. Here's a quote from his obit in The Economist: "American conservatism, before [Kristol] began to shake it up, was dour, backward-looking, anti-intellectual and isolationist," That's pretty much exactly where the "base" is today. That's Sarah Palin - a backward-looking idiot and the base loves her. Buckley & Irving Kristol wouldn't stand a chance with today's conservative base. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
