		        <![CDATA[<p>I love Sarah Palin! She represents all the reasons that Republicans will be in the political wilderness for a generation: divisive politics that use hate, racism and fear to try and gain votes...combined with utter and transparent stupidity! For a dyed-in-the-wool liberal like me, she is a Godsend!</p>

<p>I am fully supportive of her naked and completely undeserved ambition to take the helm of the Republican party and lead it straight into the abyss! Can't you guys see past your own personal revulsion to her horrid politics and lack of depth, sophistication, and GED-level knowledge? Look at the bigger picture: A Palin candidacy in 2012 virtually guarantees a Democratic victory!</p>

<p>Go Sarah Palin Go!!!!! </p>]]>

		        <![CDATA[<p>Please show me some supporting statistics on how the United States' welfare state was "generous" compared with other nations up until the 80's. I think you will find that most other European nations have always had a stronger social safety net than the United States, even during the Great Depression and Great Society.</p>

<p>Also, define "tighter market regulation" and how exactly the United States has tighter regulation than other European countries. I would maintain that the opposite is the case.</p>

<p>Whether America is more or less xenophobic than your average European country is certainly a matter for debate, but is far from the foregone conclusion as suggested here. Many European countries actually perceive the United States as a pervasively racist country. Xenophobia takes many forms, and I think nobody is exempt from the charge.</p>

<p>In the end, the thrust of your argument seems to be that the left/right dichotomy is reductive in describing politics both at home and in comparison to other nations, then you proceed to break down European and American politics into traditional left/right rubrics...</p>

<p>It seems like you're saying, let's forget about left/right politics and head more to the left, then call that the center. Fine by me, I'm with you all the way...but it hardly seems like a new paradigm.</p>]]>
