Tried reading the article until it go to this:
“(Yes, my children! Liberal Republicans once roamed the earth, before dying horribly of exposure.)”
As usual some liberal trained college faculty member is blowing smoke out of both ends. There has been a passel of liberal republicans just the same as conservative democrats (although not near as many) in our political schemes for a couple of hundred years.
Originally most of it was geared to more local targets to fulfill the needs of the states in congress like land deals, roads and grounds, and even shifting the cost of parks to the federal level and away from state control for economic purposes. A congressman was sent to represent “his” voters. But that’s changed only in the pack atmosphere as numbers talk louder than words now whether the project was national or county based.
The main reason for that is we’ve gotten too big that we now are sending congressmen to D.C. to handle our international affairs and have put the local needs on the back burner while both sides “talk” about the failure of the other’s platform and the people in charge of it because they look alike except for bickering purposes whether either or both actually make sense. And while they level their eyes at each other, Rome burns in controlled fires to further the governments causes and not the providers, uh, taxpayers.
So before I can even read the entirety of an article and run into someone trying to sell an absolute lie to smoke screen his trained position on a subject he obviously doesn’t understand or have incite in, it gets folded up and used on the bottom of the bird cage where it can have more contribution from an outside source to finish it.
And for those of you who are going to say, well it was published, so was Mein Kampf, the Satanic Bible, and Knitting with Dog Hair.

Somebody once wrote that true ignorance is rejecting something you know nothing about.
You got just four paragraphs in, and then went off on a polemic of your own based on one offhand comment by the reviewer.
