What is the Republican Party doing? I'm starting to believe that Andrew Sullivan is on to something.

Why in God's name are we acting like a bunch of PC Campus types all of a sudden? We hated it when the Lefties did it, but when we do it, it's okay? What business does a State freaking legislature have getting involved in the course work and lecture material of a professor at a University, private or state. This has to do with academic freedom, not the State's authority over a state university. Either a University is a place for free inquiry or it is not.

As I said, what the hell is my Party up to? We're supposed to be about liberty above all things. GW needs to start cleaning house before we get pegged as a gaggle of bluenoses. The Dhimmis hammered us in the Nineties with that moniker and it took an extraordinary man in GW to get us out of that ditch. The Stalinoids in the Dhimmitude party have no business appropriating the doctrines of states rights and small government from us.

But of course, free pills for Granny will do that to you. Being the majority party makes you the Party of the State. For now, the war is holding us together. I can see where victory will drive the coalition apart, however.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Great post, as always.

The GOP's rise in the 80's was as a coalition. Unfortunately, while the religious right whines loudest about not getting their fair share of the spoils of power, it's the libertarian/small goverment wing of the party which has actually gotten the least - to the extent that you have to wonder that if the Dems took over Congress and the Whiite House, would it be any worse?
