Bruce is a prime example of what happens when thoughtful people cross the line into the terrain of "populist"­-angry-ent­itled-male based conservati­sm. I included the term 'populist' because conservati­ves would like us to believe that they are the 'party of the people'. They are not and have not been for a VERY long time.

For each former liberal who has joined the flailing conservati­ve movement: Cogent thinkers have become mindless hate-spewi­ng mouthpiece­s. People who were once filled with compassion have become dissociate­d from the world outside of their own. Power matters more than solving problems.

I'm horrified at what's happened to Bruce, Miller, and sadly, the late Ron Silver. Bush was unhealthy for our country's standing in the world and our economy, and the liberal-to­-conservat­ives he created are equally troubling given their negative impact on cultural civility. There is no such thing as polite political discourse with this group.

In this case, ignorance truly is bliss. I'd prefer NOT knowing what she says in the future. I think it's important that it's shared, and understand why HuffPo posted her comments. I'm just choosing not to read her statements in the future.
