Some things have improved (the disappearance of the segregation and the sexism that is still practiced in certain places, including most of your evangelical churches), but some areas of life have declined. William F. Buckley and the old NR, for which I wrote occasionally, are some of the good things that are no longer with us. I've been waiting for you to comment on the bizarre behavior of your favorite candidate Mike Huckabee. However, since you've been defending the indefensible for a long time, I'm sure you still have a few rationalizations left. Mike's ego apparently knows no bounds, which is a sad discovery in a campaign that had some positives (about half as many as you assumed). I predicted long ago that his campaign would end on March 5th (at the latest) but with the bizarre Huckster one never knows. He bore false witness to his supporters by feeding them the illusion that two constitutional amendments were possible when he -- like you -- must have knowm that was untrue. He will not be missed.<BR/><BR/>steve<BR/>ambridge, paStephen R. Maloneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08113975776816271060noreply@blogger.com
