A Tale of Two Ideologies

From today's Herald op-ed page, two columns. One by conservative Cal Thomas. The other by liberal Richard Cohen.

Thomas: Conservatives must unite.

Cohen: Fight for democracy.

If you read Thomas' piece, you can probably come up with another appropriate headline to his column:

Fight for freedom.

Fight for freedom. Fight for democracy. Same thing, right? Basically, yes.

The essential difference lies in where the "fight" is directed towards.

One is directed at a group of people who are driven to eliminate us and our way of life. The other is directed at an administration it is at odds with.

One is directed at a proven, real and present threat. The other is directed at a president and administration that, while committing many mistakes, has not posed anywhere near a threat to our way of life as those from the first group.

There it is in a nutshell folks.
