So many policies failed this week it may take years to finish blaming everyone. Political gibberish has its place. The Laffer Curve was born in gibberish. We may have been better severed had academia worked to establish its limits. Partisanship is good
We know what happened when we accidentally eliminated partisanship. President Monroe was so good at managing that there was only one party. He was excellent, So big a figure, he would need his own Mount Rushmore. He almost eliminated slavery. Pirates slowed him down enough to let cotton catch up. Liberia grew out of his administration. A very long list.
The problem grew from his unintentional elimination of partisanship. Good partisan gibberish needs some truth. An informed basis of facts. We call that rhetoric. Rhetoric becomes gibberish when the commentators only repeat talking points. Done often enough, gibberish, speech lacking true facts, facts ignoring context, serve only one purpose, produce enough smoke that the individual believes there must be something there. There is, it is gibberish
This past year Washington insiders filled the air with thick gibberish. Let us resolve in 2010 to go back to real rhetoric.
Testing alternate platforms.
