Shorter Leonard Pitts, Jr.:

His column implies that Mr. Pitts, who is a perceptive thinker of good mind and kind heart, only recently read up on the Know Nothings.

The kinship between the ante bellum Know Nothings and the current ones has been obvious since the git-go to anyone familiar with that particular early manifestation of American bigotry and xenophobia.

Heck, I’ve been saying that of wingnuttery in all its forms since this blog was three months old.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
