but the fact is that there is no left as conservatives like to imagine it and that conservatism in the states is a peculiar entity.

Goddamn. I'm just floored at how you packed so much irony into such a tiny little space. Congratulations for validating the claim of those conservatives of yours who only look like they're bursting with straw because american conservativism is a peculiar animal and it's not overgeneralizing if you do it without caps and have some hokey study to back you up kinda if only you'd ever bother to use even a half-sufficient qualifier like 'many'. There, you happy? I normally only have run-on thoughts like that when I'm subjected to the worst of conservative punditry.
And it looks like Jinn discovered the self-defending nature of the study's working theory: if you attack it, you probably fit it.
How is Limbaugh still on the air with competition like this?
