These people are sociopaths, plain and simple. For them, politics long ago ceased to be about what's best for the country; it's now all about I've Got Mine, Fuck You (Harder). At this point, they haven't met a golden-egg-laying goose they won't shotgun and roast tout de suite, including the U.S. middle class.Lex Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364989805025038306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-28765692548919193772013-07-26T15:14:26.909-04:002013-07-26T15:14:26.909-04:00I read this post with dread, fearful that, as you ...I read this post with dread, fearful that, as you often do so well, you were going to tell us at the end why Hazen is wrong, and all hope of an effective backlash should be abandoned forthwith. <br /><br />I don't say this as a criticism, your commitment to a realist's view of right-wing political effectiveness and your refusal of all manner of knee-jerk liberal/progressive hopefulness is what draws me here on a daily basis, although I'm old enough to call myself a liberal, and both of my newly implanted artificial knees jerk with the best of them.<br /><br />Your analysis on this one strikes me as spot on, although it's going to take some real organizing on the ground to take advantage of any backlash.<br /><br />Aimai, thanks for the perfect take on Douthat, which is also evident in his writing about abortion; the mother in whom the "baby" resides is a non-person in his Catholic perspective; her needs, her health, her life don't matter; they don't even register as any kind of reality.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18077032410839810776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-81846835342486756882013-07-26T09:53:05.524-04:002013-07-26T09:53:05.524-04:00How to win and keep ideological control of a party...How to win and keep ideological control of a party: ignore pleas that you have to move to the center or the party will keep losing elections.

He seems able to articulate exactly what is going on: Voter ID laws are aimed at suppressing the non white and democratic vote but he still thinks and writes as though the only people who matter are Republican politicans and voters. He's sad because this may backfire on them. He doesn't perceive it as immoral or anti democratic becuase, look! Democrats are cynical when they point it out!<br /><br />He basically says the same thing whenever he has to discuss the crimes of the church. He wrings his hands that this stuff "makes the church look bad" but he spares only a second's worth of pity for the victims.<br /><br />He's such an authoritarian suck up.aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.com
