(I'm liking them better now that the GOP is easing up on the antigay thing.) But I agree with the premise of that book, which I only read in parts. You should also read the book BOOK WILD. I think the author's name is Slivinski. He does something similar.<br /><br />I think the "Right" is really made up of irreconcilable groups, which is understandable since it is 42% of the population, and probably more because a lot of Independents are also fairly conservative. The only thing that unites is our irritation with liberal taxes and political correctness. Take away those things and we will quickly dissipate. But I think we all also share a laissezfaire attitude about people's choices, as long as the choices aren't grossly immoral. So even if we dissipate, it won't be a nasty breakup.Coco Ricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10575774926454546927noreply@blogger.com
