re: #92 Interesting Times

Meh. Too much MBF, as usual. There is no, and I repeat NO, equivalence on the so-called “left” to the spittle-spewing insanity spouted by LaPierre.

Even if you think that, this is refreshing to read:

The right-wing view is embittered, paranoid and confused. It opposes anything the establishment supports but doesn’t know what it wants to do instead. (Defund government or protect Medicare? Break up the banks or deregulate them? Send more troops to Libya or don’t get involved? Protect our liberties or put our schools on lockdown?) Sometimes the right’s “just say no” approach holds the establishment at bay — as on climate change and immigration, to date. But sometimes, as the House Republicans are demonstrating in the budget showdown, it makes the eventual defeat that much more sweeping.
