re: #10 jaunte
The concept of all Republican arguments being axiomatically dishonest needs to get traction.
After all, conservatism consists of exactly one proposition: there must be in-groups the law protects but does not bind, and out-groups the law binds but does not protect.
Republicans haven’t quite worked themselves up to admitting this openly, which leads to the axiomatic dishonesty referred to above — it’s all bafflegab designed to obscure the essential moral thuggishness of conservatism.
