@zbig The Hegemon must never betray or demonstrate it’s political contradictions and or weakness! See A. Scalia on 2000 election: ‘ We were the laughingstock of the world. The world’s greatest democracy that couldn’t conduct an election. We didn’t know who our next president was going to be.’
Belated hat tip on ‘stunningly superficial’ remark on Morning Joe, just can’t forget your clarifying honesty. Bravo!

'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.'
