Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Tantrums

I really recommend you read David Roberts' piece.  It's a well-expressed version of what I've been saying for years now: The modern GOP is simply a non-stop tantrum against the 21st century.  There is no logic, no ideology, no policy agenda.  All there is is the continual whine of a people who subsist on Rush Limbaugh and Fox News' steady diet of grievance and lies. 

The Rightist media environment has done more to damage this country than Hitler did.  Yeah, I went Godwin, and I don't care.
