After a decent period of burying their electoral dead from last Fall's stolen elections, seven Madison area conservatives finally gathered again for their monthly meeting around seven p.m. at Tully II.
Discussion on early contenders for the 2008 presidential race. Mrs. Bill Clinton was not given a snow ball chance. Other candidates were dismissed from serious consideration at this early date including the Republicans.
Tommy Thompson was met with a good laugh for his insisting that his own presidential bid is not just positioning for the vice-president spot.
Discussion that Al Gore could buy carbon credits to offset what his weight is causing to warm the climate.

It was read to the group this passage from Dinesh D'Souza's new book: "Since liberalism and conservatism are the guiding principles of the Democratic and Republican Parties, the two major parties have become strange to each other in a way that America has not seen since 1860, when one faction saw slavery as a "positive good" and the other saw it as an entrenched evil. Now, as then, the two sides have difficulty recognizing each other as legitimate, as fully American, as
possessing the same moral decency that we all take for granted in ourselves. The vicious liberal attacks on Bush, which parallel the vicious conservative attacks on Clinton, are a way of saying, "We have difficulty recognizing you as human beings who inhabit the same moral planet that we do. Consequently we see you as usurpers and moral reprobates who should be hounded and driven from the corridors of power
by any means necessary."" (See Dinesh D'Souza, The Enemy At Home: The Cultural Left And Its Responsibility for 9/11, New York: Doubleday, 2007. page 62.) |
The D'Souza question centered upon if today's political discourse is similar to 1968 instead of Mr. D'Souza's choice of 1860. No decision was reached.
A discussion about Will Shakespeare taking credit for all those works though somebody had composed them in his name. No deconstruction was mentioned if he was not also gay.
Meeting adjourned because of a snow storm. No decision on next meeting place or time/date, though it was mention April 3 was during Holy Week (Passover and the Triduum) hence a delay of perhaps one week was quietly suggested. A member wondered when we would return to the Terrance at UW@Madison which was answered when it is warmer. There was consensus for Tully II because of the post meeting.
The After Meeting was attended by three members who discussed religion. All three have been studying the Bible. The Meeting was finally closed when the snow storm became worse.
Faithfully Submitted,
Steddy Byrd
