Nearly 50 years in east Alabama, a surname going back to Vikings invading Scotland, and finally too much religious fundamentalism coupled to reactionary radicalism motivates me. I'll share (rarely as of late) my ideas on politics, learning, ... My clan supposedly uses "Peace ... or War!" Maybe those genes compel me to join issue? (Propservralism = PRogressivism + pOPulism + conSERVatism + libeRAL + pragmatISM) Respectfully, John Gunn

The Mobile Press-Register is still on offense
I've referenced Reagan's Chesterfield ads previously so the image to the left might be recognizable to frequent readers. And I've surely written of the Mobile P-R's tendency to rely on offense as any movement conservative tends toward. Their Blaming it on Alabama takes a whack at unions with a creative interpretation of remarks of United Auto Workers union President Ron Gettelfinger. I'm surely thinking automobile manufacturing subsidies in Alabama and what UAW workers actually earn compared to non-union workers in Alabama are relevant. However, the Mobile P-R continues to be more interested in rhetoric. I'm guessing "The Party of Fakes" appreciates the P-R's efforts but I frankly figure Alabama, the nation, and our world beyond need much more given the present mess we find ourselves in. John Gunn
