Mittens is a pretty boring public speaker and writer. Particularly a boring writer. The man doesn’t believe in contractions, which everyone uses every day in their speech. And most good writers try to imitate speech. The no-contractions result, as an editor once told me, is a page full of “Amish-straight.”
Maybe the Amish and the Mormons have something in common?
It’s refreshing, however, to see/hear Romney assault “cultural relativism.” You know, the academic nonsense of the last twenty years or so that all cultures are equally valid? That American culture is not superior to, say, Afghani culture. Or, in Romney’s recent Jerusalem riff, Israeli culture and its dynamic economy is not superior to the we’re-all-on-UN-welfare culture of the Israel-hating, bomb belt-wearing Palestinians.
But of course there’s a difference. Any fool can see it. But so far Romney is the only presidential candidate daring to be that fool out loud. So, while the GOP nominee certainly doesn’t have a sparkling personality, he’s already making more sense to the average American than Obozo and his tedious PC-speak. That’s refreshing! Go get ’em Mittens. You can beat this guy.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Cultural relativism is definitely a most dangerous poison invented by the curent “progressives”. Good to see him address it.
He’s a fighter. Drudge has the headline “Romney to Reid: Put up or shut up.” And I notice that, unlike McCain in ’08, he hasn’t gone hat in hand to the media apologizing for the supposed “gaffes” they accuse him of. I just might like this guy, especially if he wins. But I’d still prefer all federal politicians, including presidents, to be one-termers from now on. We have enough laws and enough bureaucrats and more than enough taxes.
Gaffe — when a politician tells the truth.
But if our Hollywood-besotted culture has to have entertainment, we’re seen where Obama takes us when there’s nothing to back it up. Why not vote for someone like Rubio & West and actually get something for your money?
Common sense should beat blather every time.
Funny definition since the media always makes out that it’s a screwup. Telling the truth is a screwup. Hmm.
