re: #55 HappyWarrior

I think they do need that but instead of building from Goldwater’s ashes, an even more dangerous form of conservatism. They need to realize that ultra-so con policies combined with right wing economics doesn’t work. They’d score points in my book if they told the religious right to get lost but they won’t because they love their votes and money too much to care about principles like treating women and gays like equals.

I think we are dealing with a nihilistic cult that would rather see the country burn to ashes (literally!) before trying to work with the impure ‘other’ that they define themselves as not being.

This is the sort of thing that tends to only get worked out through force of arms, imo.

I really hope I am wrong.
