New I don't read them that way.
Your atributing them with implying "maybe we can get a Democrat back in office and the world will be right again" I think is a little disingenuous. What they wrote was "Equally complicit in this atrocity was the Democratic Party".

I don't see this as trolling. I posted it because as I read it I kept thinking, "At last, somebody has gotten something published that I've been thinking for the past 30 years."

No, I'd say this writing wasn't meant to inflame. I read it more as a lament.

New Fair... Critics voice, take your choice...
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.
Just a few thoughts,
