From 9/11 to Tucson: No Wonder Our Politics Are So Paranoid

From 9/11 to Tucson: No Wonder Our Politics Are So Paranoid

Nearly a half century ago – writing in the shadow of the John Birch Society and Joe McCarthy – liberal historian Richard Hofstadter identified what he called, "The Paranoid Style in American Politics." Perhaps too glibly, Hofstadter tried to link the anti-Catholic and anti-Masonic agitation of the 19th century with the right-wing conspiracy theories that arose out of the Cold War. (Robert Welch, the founder of the Birch Society, actually believed that Dwight Eisenhower – Ike! – was "a dedicated, conscious agent of the Communist conspiracy.") Endorsing the ...

SaveTheGOP.com asked earlier if anyone remembered this ad by MoveOn, which dramatically features children working in low wage, labor intensive jobs and asks "Guess Who's Going To Pay Off Bush's $1 trillion deficit?"

Why I Hate Liberals: MoveOn Meeting Gone Wild

Why I Hate Liberals: MoveOn Meeting Gone Wild

OK, hate is too strong, but "A Particular Frustration For Me Where Liberals Are Concerned" just doesn't grab the same way.Leading Democrats, it has been said, is like herding cats. Cats, however, will at least be cool if you give them some catnip. Take a look at how this group acts, even with the biggest wad of catnip available, a Barack Obama victory party.This isn't new to me. I've tried to work with liberals on several occasions, but there are always a couple in every group who are more interested in being walking blog posts than in getting something done. Every liberal thinks they're a ...
