Well, You Get Wabulon, Don't You?
As explained here.
Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
In fact, I do appear by name (i.e., as the son of my father) in at least one linguistics book, as an example that children do indeed build their understanding of their language in part by analogy ("Sing, sang; swing, swang," I protested).
