Correct. That was the first thing you said. Twice I believe. Negative
identity. No negative identity, no Cold War. As it turns out the SU was
a dead letter except that we kept the game going. We define ourselves by our
enemies.

No, no. The point is I was commenting upon the mean-spirited personal attacks
against her after having heard her speech twice. How could anyone not realize
how brilliant she was? How?
The dynamic quadruped John, Andy, Irene and Mimi obviously had their heads in
the sand and werenʼt listening to Sarah speak.
Were the same numbers of rear ends poised in the air? Were their tails
wagging?
The tails of those of us who heard Sarahʼs speech were all wagging. JJJ

The point was that you didn't post anything positive. You did the old
communists-are-our-enemies thing only you substituted liberals, not that that's
anything new. I.e., negative identity. Anything positive had to be
specifically requested. I'm still not clear what qualifies her to be
president. Like, was she president of the PTA? What does she know about
foreign affairs? Her answer to energy is to drill. That's fine for a few
months (yes, a few months) and it'll be sold on the world market anyway. So,
Lawrence, why should we vote for your candidate?
