re: #206 majii

I’m amazed at how ugly that was, especially since it involves a revisionist history of Steele’s tenure. The facts of the individual man were just eliminated to score a cheap, racist point at a dinner lecture.

I don’t agree with Steele on basically anything in policy, but that was just disgusting and tawdry and small. How pathetic a man, how pathetic a party, for that to be considered a clever or adroit statement. How callous a man, how thoughtless a party, to need that kind of pettiness to fuel them.

Nobody matters, variation number three: given a choice between the governing fiction and an individual—that pile of history and the simple A is A facts that defines them—the latter will be cut to serve the former.
