The narcissism of small differences? Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2015 14:58:17 -0800 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Pen-l] Ruling class concern over slippage in control of political system
I think Carrol is referring to Kissinger: The reason academic politics is so vicious is that the stakes are too small.

Such fights can be more vicious than fights over major differences. I think this is what is creating the wrangles listed: " The piece provides further confirmation that, however blurred the differences may be between the party leaderships, the two parties at the base are sharply divided on the major issues in American politics: the role of unions, abortion, gay rights, gun control, policing of bl ack communities, climate change, immigration, civil liberties, and foreign policy." In 2009 the DP controlled Congress and did not a damn thing for unions. Nor did they make an effort on gun control. And Obama appointed a prick of a former Philadelphia Police Chief to investigate the "problem" of Killer Cops. Check out Emanuel in Chicago. This is bull shit.
