The Party of Lincoln, the Media, and the final bastions of fact
Note that the party of Lincoln now can be characterized by a yin and yang of cowardice and charlatanism. Romney is an example of the former and Gingrich (the Lizard of Ooze) of the latter. Cowardice is passive and charlatanism is active. All of the party hopefuls fit into one or the other side (or both). Together, they create the dynamic of implosive self-destruction, if not for the party alone (to be hoped) then for the country (the catastrophe of total Republican rule over the social structure and penetrating into our private lives). And Chris Matthews! Note his recent slobberings over Ronald Reagan! Or Dylan Ratigan and his detente with Tea Party buffoons (making them feel self-satisfied and legitimate)! Discouraging for those of us who want to know that there is an alternative counter-force to the lies of the right-wing media that pervade the airwaves. Finally, note the needs of the secessionist states in the aftermath of tornadoes and floods: maybe the hated evil Federal Government should let them sink or swim on their own. After all, the secular socialist state, as the most abominable evil imaginable should only follow its natural instinct. And McCain, now that his seat is safe, relapses into truth – probably what the addicts call a slip or chipping.
