          <body><![CDATA[Ann, thanks for your stellar insight. Perhaps, instead of using the diplomatic &quot;co-opted&quot; I should have said &quot;subverted&quot; or &quot;twisted&quot; to properly convey my thought. <br/><br/>But, indeed, your suggestion that Paine may provide roots to both conservatives and liberals in this country may be correct. It's just too bad that conservatives have been largely and perhaps irredeemably hijacked (polluted?) by the nonsensical &quot;right wing.&quot; Thus, I stand by my use of the phrase. But if conservatives deign to take back their party and rejoin the world of reason, ethics, and truth, you let me know!<br/><br/>As for &quot;give-aways,&quot; did you read your own comment?<br/><br/>]]></body>
