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.

War Pig

Jon Chait notes that Republicans have declared war on economics.

I think we can expand that to war on mathematics.

And climate science.

And pluralism.

And Hispanics.

And women.

And African American voting rights.

And the idea that police shouldn't kill people for no reason.

And Islam.

And legal marijuana.

And the idea that pedophilia is bad.

And children's health insurance.

And everyone else's health insurance.

Oh, and North Korea any minute now.
