When I joined the conservative movement in the 1980s, there were two types of people: those who cared earnestly about ideas, and those who wanted only to shock the left. The reactionary fringe has won.

    A stunning piece of analysis, all the more so coming from a conservative. A nice reminder that not every one on the conservative side is a ruthless moron.

      He caused this. He cheered dick cheney and the extreme presidential powers theory. He cheered the conservative justices that broke the constitution. This is his fault.

      This guy starts out the article claiming that “Ronald Reagan… saved millions of people across Africa from HIV and AIDS.” Are you sure he’s not a moron, because he looks like one to me!
