re: #137 Fourth Football of the Apocalypse

Dreher at TAC says this:

Wingnut conservatives have turned that Vanity Fair cover into the equivalent of Japan bombing Pearl Harbor. After dominating the national discourse for hundreds of years and marginalizing and sometimes putting to death its opponents, wingnut conservativism is now facing for the first time a fractional loss of its still considerable privilege.

It’s just really weird after having read a lot of American history, let alone world history, to have wingnut conservatives suddenly wax eloquent about some supposed moral flourishing they wished for and made possible for the unwashed masses.
