TDS Time Machine | Conversations with Conservatives

The Democratic Party has leaders? That should be in the book. I'd love a list of that. I don't notice where they are. You know what, because it strikes me as an old, the liberal conservative battle almost seems like an older paradigm. You know what I mean? Like you and Carville are like the Japanese soldiers in 1953 that they'd find on islands that are like, we're still fighting, right?

I read the papers. I read, what do they call it there, the sports papers, the funny papers. I have not seen a great wave of dissent from this war. As a matter of fact, I would say... And the Persian Gulf War was a very popular war as well. I'd say this is the most popular military battle that I've ever experienced. I mean, very few dissenting voices.

Now, the they... I can't help but think that this is a tiny group of people, like Keebler elves, for instance. You know, I... In terms of the more knee-jerk... reactionary version of it. I sort of liken Carville. I put him in that category.

To be fair, it is. I've been on car trips. And if you do have to go, you have to go. I mean, it is. To be fair. No, I think, to be fair, there are some legitimate points of dissent to be made. I think it's probably, you know, they may be slightly nonspecific out of the sort of fear of not wanting to criticize a wartime president.

No, it's interesting. I honestly feel like I have a different view. My view is that the liberal-conservative battle doesn't matter anymore. It's sort of a dinosaur. The real battle is actually extremism versus moderates.
