What if Bush

[jolly]

"You don't have the moral or intellectual capital on this list-serve to criticize us, and your self-righteous ranting and ph-filled name-calling certainly doesn't validate your simplistic political analysis."
 
The simplistic analysis is yours, chump. Politics is not simple, nor is an empirical and economic approach to literature; what is simplistic is post-modernist criticism that ignores specific political and historical facts in favor of some eccentric neo-hegelian lit. krit.  And the excessive abstract theorizing of post modernism is indicative I believe of general political apathy if not irrationality.  You don't happen to agree? Great.  I have a right to say it, even if not a grad. student in an Ivy League bitch-lit. department; and there is no Derrida Is King posted on the front door.
 
THe essay by Galbraith--"Plutocrats go Wild"-- is a far more reasonable and effective analysis of Bush and the GOP's mistakes and injustices than any I have read on P-list. And I don't recall him mentioning binary oppositions or logocentrism.  
 
What is consistent about the P-list hypocritical "liberals" is that they would be happy to deny 1st amendment rights to anyone who doesn't follow the po-mo par-tay line (though few of them know what that line specifically is). I don't have to prove my "intellectual capital" or earn "seniority" here anyways, chump azz.  Pheel me?
