Like most Leftist hit pieces, it depends upon one accepting key Leftist premises; such as the idea that human progress depends upon collectivist totalitarian projects, and that to block a collectivist project is somehow "nihilistic."
Rather than dismantle what is really no better than out and out drivel, let me offer an analysis of the thinking behind this "point of view." Consider the compulsive nature behind a "philosophy, " which the writer would consider "positive." (See Compassion Or Compulsion.)
If rejecting the Leftist pursuit of uniformity, or stepping into the breach in defnese of heritage, is now nihilistic, then we are truly down the rabbit hole with Alice in a new Wonderland.
If the Republican nominee I will vote for Cruz. This article is plain political hyper-hysterical nonsense. Cruz is intellectually able to be President. The aforementioned being being said Cruz cannot seem to resonate beyond a few kindred souls. Cruz appears to be a “bomb thrower” for purposes of self aggrandizement or for purposes of drawing attention to himself. That perceived trait worries me.
Exactly. As if Salon is on some kind of mission to defend True Conservatism. They do not have the collective brain-power to even recognize the concepts, let alone appreciate them. All they can do in any subject is parrot the liberal party line.
How can you support the constitution and the “general will” at the same time?
The underlying assumption of this article is that conservative speech is a crime. That is their goal - to criminalize conservative speech.
This hit piece needs a double barf alert tag.
I did not trash anyone, I asked honest questions. grow-up.
Liberals are only generous with OTHER people’s money..never their own. I want to see these same liberal celebrities who vote Democrat every single time get 80 percent of their wealth taken away and given to the Govt, I bet they would be hiding their millions in offshore accounts if they thought that would happen
One time I farted so loud and long that my voice recognition software wrote a Salon article...
Can’t read Salon, but the headline suggests Cruz is the one they fear most, further cementing him as my guy.
These bastards are intimidated by Cruz’s intellect and abilities. Just like the U.S. is reviled around the world for its superiority and exceptionalism, the intellectually challenged envy, despise, and fear Cruz. Deep in their
neanderthal brains this reality drives them crazy. This behavior is also exhibited by Republican elites who know that none of them can hold a candle to Cruz’s intellect. The guy is a genius, a had nosed fighter, and an exceptional orator.
Someone who goes to congress and does what he promised his voters is a terrorist to progressives.
Someone who demands we live within our means is a terrorist to progressives.
Cruz must is over the target for all the flack.
It must be disconcerting to ‘fellow travelers’ and ‘useful idiots’ alike to have someone in the room who can slice out their liver and serve it to them with a smile and nary a cross word.
The ‘smartest guy in the room’ is not a progressive and I approve!
Check the source and move on - typical nonsense from a progressive writer in a liberal rag.
I don’t think he is a bomb thrower at all. I think he is all alone up there, practically the only one willing to fight, and he has no one covering his back. Nevertheless, he’s willing to do it because that’s what he PROMISED the people of Texas that he would do and why he was elected in a landslide over a popular GOPe Lieutenant Governor.
Few things are clearer to anyone with analytic ability, than that forcing incongruous peoples to accept each other in once culturally identifying settings, such as schools, established neighborhoods or even broader communities, can only tend to decrease the actual "diversity." No, it will not morph one type into another; but it will surely decrease the ability to "celebrate" your actual diversity from others in the newly diversified neighborhood. (The examples in States over-run by illegal immigrants, should come to mind. But the expected phenomenon has general applicability, and is not over-looked by the social engineers, who wish to dismantle America.)
LOL! Good question.
They would . . . and do. You should see the “Charitable Giving” details on lib returns. Cheap as all get-oout, and the ones who do usually give to some sort of self-interest “Charity” that they could business network with.
And they’d fuss like hell over the littlest deductions of any sort, often just lying about anything. Figures doesn’t it?
Salon??
Seriously?

Ted Cruz is the only candidate who demonstrates a
solid understanding of our Constitution.
