I would have liked the article a little more if there had been less of a "chicken little" tone to it. The frigging sky is falling, but it has been for quite some time. I get the feeling these guys are suffering from the simplistic notion that "if we scare the shit out of people by publishing a bunch of sensationalistic half-truths, maybe we can get a Democrat back in office and the world will be right again"... Which is total bullshit as well.

As far as the best assessment, that is quite a subjective measure and you are most certainly entitled to an opinion :-)

I'm just feeling a bit "froggy" lately. Whenever I read articles that are meant merely to inflame, it makes me a little angry that this is what it's come down to... If I were a conservative, I wouldn't have read past the first sentence, which is a shame, because a lot of the article is thought provoking and an interesting take on what's happening now. Conservatives need to be in the conversation now, just as always.

You can draw just as many flies with honey as with shit.

I was criticizing the authors' choice of words in many of the examples I used. You are correct, I am taking some liberties and being disingenuous - putting words in the author's mouths. Not very good form on my part in that I am accusing the authors of playing fast and loose with language! I'm guilty.

I still feel this piece is quite biased but didn't mean to create a major ruckus about it.
