...and Tea Party values
A
blogger called The Z Man offers some thoughts about what’s going on with this
election (h/t Bookworm):
A theme here over the years has
been the fact that the Conservative Movement has managed to conserve nothing.
The reason they are in a crisis is the same reason a losing ball coach finds
himself in jeopardy. People will tolerate only so much losing. A salesman, who
cannot close deals, gets fired, even if he is the nicest guy in the world.
What’s happening today is Official Conservatism™ is being fired.
. . .
Official Conservatism™ hates
Donald Trump and they hate the people voting for him. That’s been a bit of an
eye-opener for people. When [Fox News’ Brit] Hume detailed Trump’s
deviationism, he was dismissive and condescending. He then had that gold plated
phony George Will come in and dismiss Trump and the people supporting him as
knaves and fools. The segment was ostensibly about Official Conservatism™, but
it was really just an excuse for the two of them to bash Trump.
. . .
there’s the creeping
realization that their brand of conservatism is all hat and no cattle. Their
moral preening and appeals to as yet undefined principles are just
postures.
Read
the rest here. And VOTE.
