And if you've lost David Brooks and Roger Cohen, you've lost the Conventional Wisdom Brigade.

Brooks and Cohen both come to the conclusion that many sane people reached in 2009 and 2010. The GOP has gone insane. Cohen calls it a "cult". They have abandoned reason for Norquist's "pledge". They have decided that forcing a Second Great Depression on us is a political win. They think - as John McCain said - that "Americans don't want compromise".
In a just world, we could find a way to punish the GOP for their idolatry before the altar of Fake Reagan without cratering the global economy.
We do not live in a just world.
