RedState.com’s Erickson: Hear Me Now, We Are Insurrecting

Wingnuts • Views: 2,948

This is what passes for “commentary” on the new, righter than right wing, as Erick Erickson puts on his most stilted pseudo-intellectual language and pens a semi-literate boast about how he and his friends are going to take over the conservative movement: The Great Disentangling Has Begun: What Bob Bennett’s Defeat Means and Does Not.

Pay attention now you media types who look for great meaning in all things considered. Sometimes you must confront the bold truths you do not naturally recognize because you have been trained up in the ways of a lazier time, an old reality when you could get by with simple shortcuts, and no one would call you on it.

Your shibboleths are crumbling around you and you grasp it not. As you struggle to interpret what the tea parties do and do not mean, you media types and others are getting Utah all wrong.

It’s not about a purge. It’s about an insurrection.

Your verbs and nouns are all mixed up, Erick Son of Erick, and your metaphors are clumsy, yet you graspeth it not. The GOP is turning over the reins of power to hate-filled, dim people like you, and it is the death knell of American conservatism.
