Joe Scarborough despite having been a GOP Congress person has a reputation for having some degree of independence He is also a smart politician who is very well aware that nut jobs like Bachmann, Aikin, Palin, and The Tea Party will eventually destroy the Republicans, and he is right However he is no liberal , nor a knight in shining armour He is a conservative pol who whose pragmatism is in the service of the Party in general. Hope this helps.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
