I couldn't bother to read your drivel, but best of luck to you. I hope you'll reconsider.

FR's approach to politics is both populist--in that it seeks to activate "the people" as a whole against perceived oppressors or enemies [see Edwards re. "two Americas" and Democrats generally on class warfare]- and elitist - in that it treats the people's will as embodied in a select group, or often one prime iconic leader whose authority flows downward only [see "smart" Al Gore, "nuanced" John Kerry and other members of the mentally and socially "select" group] . FR, in typical Fascist style seeks to organize a cadre-led mass movement in a drive to seize state power [see moveon.org, Florida vote recount efforts]. It seeks to forcibly subordinate all spheres of society to its ideological vision [see gay marriage, blocking of judicial nominees, insistence of "pc" teaching in public schools] of what a community is [it takes a village], and the end result of their game is totalitarianism, pure and simple

Lots of sophisticated language, not much point as far as I could tell. Distressingly high ratio of words to content, but good luck to the author. I agree with your assessment of "drivel," or, as this author might say, "meandering and misguided assessment of sinister underlying political theories cloaked in a linguistic subterfuge."
