That's ...You're trying to make sense of Cal Thomas. That's like trying to get directions from a broken compass. Cal is a shill. His single sole purpose for existing in the media landscape is to push the Republican talking points and to advance the religious right's agenda in the media. He gets paid for that, and that only - otherwise he would disappear from the map altogether. <BR/><BR/>But comparing the Democrats to the Taliban is not only silly, but off the mark. In a point by point breakdown of shared values, the Taliban and the religious right of Falwell and Robertson are much more in idealogical lockstep than the democrats that voted Lieberman out. You remember that it was the Taliban that destroyed one of a kind works of the religious art in their hatred of all things not of their religion. And you remember that is was the Taliban that treated women in such horrific ways, and banning all things they determined to be immoral. Does that sound familiar, does that sound like Democrats? <BR/><BR/>The irony of Cal Thomas chastising the Democrats for pushing conformity is laughable considering the near clonelike status of all republican representatives and his own rigid guidelines when it comes to abortion related issues... <BR/><BR/>So ultimately we must conclude that Cal is once again blowing smoke out his ass to push his owner's message.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394863422117469169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397103.post-1155398540191786562006-08-12T11:02:00.000-05:002006-08-12T11:02:00.000-05:00Maybe Cal needs to be reminded of his own words in...Maybe Cal needs to be reminded of his own words in his book "Blinded by Might", but then they ignore thier own hypocracy.<BR/><BR/>Preach on!P M Prescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973205373056561583noreply@blogger.com
