Where do they find these people?
(Or, How Talking Points memo's are all you need!)
There is a poster at ESPN who speaks only in talking points. I think I've found they're real identity! From today's Republic, this letter to the editor is nothing but talking points joined together with a few conjunctions and some punctuation:
I am an American. You don't have to know my age, my politics, my background, my religion or anything else. But you do have to know the dangers facing this country right now.
The government has just declared NPR and PBS too liberal. Comedian Bill Maher has just been accused of treason by a Republican U.S. representative, who wants him off the air for remarks Maher made. on HBO. Our judges are under fire for being too liberal. Professors in universities all over the nation are also under fire for pretty much the same thing.The conservative right is going too far. We have always been an open society and could say pretty much what we think. I truly believe we are heading to a closed society, where we will be judged by the views of others about what we think and say. This is unacceptable.
The executive, legislative and judicial branches of our government are there for a purpose - as balance to protect us from one or two branches wielding too much power. But as it is now, the executive and legislative branches are extremely conservative and have the power to do pretty much as they please. What will happen when the Supreme Court loses one of its members? Frankly, as an American, I am worried. And you should be, too.
