AT A TIME when conservatives dominate all three branches of government and hold an increasingly large share of the Fourth Estate...

Large share of the Fourth Estate? Yeah, right.

Cathy is often on target, but this time out she has produced a largely incoherent piece that is so far off of the mark, in so many directions, that it's hard to know where to begin... So I won't waste any more keystrokes...

Boy, you read the whole thing very fast.

What's wrong with her reasoning?

(Apart from the "conservatives dominate the government" which is obviously untrue.)

The left always does this to themseves. Purging of the Party is an old trick of the Commies. Think USSR. And thank God their ideology is always in the end nilistic even to themselves.

I assume the columnist is not in favor of one party dominating the government institutions of the country. I wonder if she finds it equally offensive that the Democrat Party similarly dominates the States of California, Massachusetts, New York, Illinois and probably several others. May we assume she is also against the latest trend among liberals, namely agitating to abolish the Electoral College? Not that doing such a thing would in any way lead to total Democrat domination of the country a la California, by allowing five or six major metropolitan areas to dictate the national election. I suspect her outrage is too selective.

"As Gitlin notes, many conservatives assert that the American Republic was founded not on the principles of the Enlightenment but as a ``Christian nation."

Hummmmm, as I recall the Pilgrams didn't come here to study Locke and Hume free from Government intrusion.
