Lefty Blogger Jonathan Chait: ‘Unique Power’ of Conservatives Destabilizes American Politics

Leftists are truly deranged, mentally deranged.

[Liberty Valance]

And by ‘unique power’ he means common sense.

[stanne]

Current American politics are stable?

[demshateGod]

So in essence, our liberty is not negotiable. And we’re knuckledraggers for that position. Meaning we have to be marginalized until we’re backed into a corner. These lefties had better give us some space.

“they will have to abandon conservatism as we know it, which has only appealed to white voters in the context of racial polarization.”

There will be a lot of blood spilled before that happens. Is this what they want. How about “give me liberty or give me death”? Is that too far right?

Seems like TJ doesn’t care much for Ayn Rand....Maybe she hit a nerve or something...

[nickcarraway]

But is the United States the only country where the left has so completely abandoned liberalism?

[nickcarraway]

It’s already happened.

[matthew fuller]

I think that maybe I meant Chait instead of TJ, not sure who is the original leftie here.

[Fiddlstix]

Rarely does one see true insanity on such open display.....

He’s got a point. “Racial Minorities” have been bought with Government money. The Left and the US Government Party can continue to import more “minorities” but they have to be bought as well.

Its a race against time - how many more “minorities” can be bought when the Government is already $18 Trillion in debt?

You’d think with a whole world out there chock full of batcrapcrazy leftwing loons that this guy and his pals could find a home more to their liking.

One of the most discussed articles was something found in an obscure publication called “vox?”

“The other major difference is that the United States is the only advanced democracy whose major conservative party rejects ... creeping Socialism.

[Smokin' Joe]

Conservatives haven't moved farther to the Right. The Tracking of the Democrat Party from the slightly social liberalism of the early 1960s to a full-blown Marxism/Fascism that would have been (and was) considered to be downright Anti-American in those days, even by those Democrats who had fought such systems is the most significant change.

A true Conservative really hasn't changed position at all on Original Intent, Constitutional Government, nor the Republic and how the Limited Federal powers shake out.

The shift is in the ideology of the Left, which has gone from running along the third base line to somewhere out in the Parking lot by the front gate.

The Democrat Party didn’t have support for Socialized medicine.

Hillarycare was beat back in the 1990s.

Obamacare was passed without public debate. “Sign the bill and then you can find out what’s in it.” “My critics are lying!”

The “right wingers” aren’t that far to the right of where this country once stood. It’s the Red Diaper Doper Babies of the 68 Revolution who had lurched the Democrat party far Left.

It’s not that obscure, just relatively new.

[RedHeeler]

Good.

[a fool in paradise]

Yep.
