WOW. It is amazing how it is PC to lift portions of sentences from a lifetime, insert the "reasons why things were done" (although you cannot possibly know) and conclude, after a ref. to the Boston Globe (more balance there) if it is a Republican. It an article was written with the use of the journalistic techniques you employ, with so little consideration of the body of work of a person, let's say Clinton or Obama, you would be mortified. The best USA of tomorrow has to be less extreme; right and left, liberal or conservative, Christian/Muslim/Jew/Others, etc. The future begs for journalists who forge that new path and has the respect of the spectrum of interests. You article is well written in a technical sense; use this skill and open your eyes to the broad spectrum interest. You could be one of the first of what the future needs. Proof? Try any news or op/ed show, network or cable, and find one with this balance. Again, good skills.
