Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.”<br />~Barry Goldwater<br /><br />That's BARRY GOLDWATER saying that!<br /><br />That Diminionist Evangelical Christian Manichean world view, of black v. white, Heaven v. Hell, right v. wrong, good v. evil, God v. Satan, is now pervasive in Conservatism.<br /><br />In its politics.<br />In its campaigning.<br />In its governance.<br /><br />And that's why ALL they know how to do is attack their "opponents."<br /><br />No subtlety allowed - subtlety requires whitening black into some shade of gray, and darken white to do the same.<br /><br />Plus, subtlety requires some nuance, and some degree of irony.<br /><br />And they don't do the above - they bludgeon.<br /><br />And, as we all know, Conservatives suffer from a severe "Irony Deficiency."Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
