SO tired of this stuff

[Bartruff1]

Don't let the bastards wear you down. There have always been zealots on both ends of the political spectrum. People who see themselves in spite of a lack of formal training and or experience as experts on everthing from the Constitution to the Middle East...from the Fed to Global Trade...the UN to immigration ...on the Right they have Fox News and and Talk Radio to confirm their " the sky is falling " view of the world. Mostly they are harmless and just drive their wives nuts with their rants. If you really want to understand their motivation you might read Eric Hoffer's 1951 book " The True Believer ". One interesting irony is that Hoffer was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan. I should add, there is a obvious liberal bias in the "driveby media" and MSNBC has a left wing agenda almost as annoying as Fox but the real left wing nutcakes are on the internet. The polls show that 70% of the voters are fiscal consevatives believing in small efficient gov and balanced budgets and are socially tolerant having a live and let live attitude. Don't pay any attention to the shouters.
