As one who has taught writing and logic at the college level for 40 years, I can tell you that conservatives as a group are the last to catch on, but the first to insist that they have the answers. In other words, they're simply not the brightest bulbs in the package, and the only thing they seem to do well is come up with slogans that mislead gullible people (which is easily one half of the American people). War on terror? A war on terror would consist of using sophisiticated tools of diplomacy and aid to increase our standing, not trying to beat people into respecting or loving us. It ain't gonna happen.
