Why do so few people here read The Nation?

Treading on the Bill of Rights?? I guess i should come to expect that kind of talk.

 

Why bother when Universal will just post the articles on Bigsoccer?

 

How am I supposed to read the whole magazine when I can't read past the first sentence?

 

I just get it for the pictures.

 

To think that, back when I was young and foolish, I stuffed envelopes for that guy's run at the oval office.

Nixon completely discredited the GOP by 1975, but by 1980 I'd had my fill of guys like McGovern. His pronouncements on foreign poicy always began "I yield to no one in my distrust of the Soviet Union, but.." and then he'd lead the charge to total appeasement.

 

Why don't more people read the nation? Perhaps because people don't want to waste their time reading a magazine that, among other things, believes in racial predetermination of ones political views. One memorable quote:

"(Condi Rice) is a blue-blood conservative in black face"

Black face, of course, was the paint used by white entertainers in the 1930s in order to do dances that only blacks were "supposed to be doing."

I, along with most Americans (I think), believe that people of all races, colors, and religions should be allowed to hold their own personal political views, without being told that their political views only befit someone of another skin color.
