Rick, First things first. I'm not sure if you're aware of this but automatically replying to your VORT messages will cause them to be rerouted to your personal email account, not to the VORT server. I have to manually delete your return email address and manually enter in the vortex-l address. You might want to check your email settings.

Years ago, I watched a number of late evening RL TV shows that aired. Almost invariably they all started out with unimpressive cartoon skits depicting "Bubba" doing something stupid, insofar as conservatives were concerned. Ok... I stand corrected. It was not so much hatred I viewed, as constant ridicule. > Far worse than completely miscasting RL's statements is your attempting to > create equivalence between regular Limbaugh listeners - "dittoheads" - and > an angry mob bent on destruction. I was wondering if someone might be offended by the "mob mentality" association I made here. I apologize for that. > I am a member of that "mob" you refer to, > and I very much want BO to fail completely, as Limbaugh does, on every > attempt he makes to move our government to the left. This is appropriate and > constitutionally protected political opposition. I don't have a problem with your expressed political opinion on the matter. It makes no difference that I might disagree with it. > Would you also consider > citizens to be a mob bent on destruction if they listened to some strident > liberal voice in opposition the policies of conservatives who were trying to > move our government to the right? There you go. It's called political bias, > Steven, and it's ok to have that.

But then you go on to say: > Jed, BO has stated many liberal, progressive, and socialist policies that > will be promoted by his administration. His track record, most speech > content, and his associations indicate he is extremely liberal. But he's > been a demagogue through the campaign, pandering with perfect eloquence to > whatever audience is listening.

And for the record, > both RL and certainly most of his listeners would want BO to succeed on > every conservative move he makes. And we know of course he will make these > moves - the same day Robert Park endorses CF. ...and then I feel less apologetic. Perhaps we both need to look in the mirror and acknowledge our biased flaws. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
