Percy-L: Literary, Religious, Scientific, and Philosophical Discussion of Walker Percy

["Ken Wilson" <kfwacw AT centurylink.net>]

Amen to this. Let’s not forget that in Love in the Ruins Percy skewered the Left as well as the Right. All the Left’s stereotypes of the Tea Party are true – about a minority of Tea Partiers. And all the Right’s worst stereotypes about the Left are true – about a minority of liberals. Percy with his realistic view of human nature recognized his own sins and shortcomings, and would be still skewering his own side today, and still recognizing the decency on the other side.

But I will just ask, please, stop calling others you disagree with names. It always amazes me that liberals love to consider Tea Party people closed minded and savage. But do they ever listen to themselves?
