Well, Cal Thomas says this morning that Obama's outlook is based on "grievance, entitlement and revenge." Can't argue with that; he's a Democrat, isn't he? Thomas goes on to say the American ethic (read Republican) is based on self-control, hard work and personal responsibility." Wow, that sounds pretty good.
Unless, of course, you look closely at it. Conservatives just can't stay out of our bedrooms, can't stay out of our vices (no toking, but beer swilling is OK) and can't leave our bodies alone (we will tell you what you do with your body, ma'am).
Thomas says Obama is an elitist, a socialist and a statist, No argument there. But, how does the far religious right conservative movement stack up? Listened to Sarah lately? Listened to any of the hellfire and brimstone fundamentalists (who have hijacked the Republican Party) lately?
Do we really have any centrists left in the political arena today? Do we really have any of the American ethic that Thomas describes? If we do, I can't find it. I have longed maintained that the Democrats want to give the country away and the Republicans want to sell it.
Where do the rest of us go?
