May we remind Dionne that what he believes to be "radical conservative tea party" thinking in 2012 is the "mainstream thinking" of 1776 and 1787, or, to put it the way Thomas Jefferson described it--"the American mind" of 1776.

"Conservative tea party" thinking generally can be described as that thinking which believes in Creator-endowed individual life, liberty, rights, and laws to protect those rights (as stated in the Declaration of Independence) and a "We, the People's" written Constitution which structured and severely limits government's coercive power over its "only KEEPERS" (Justice Story), "the People." That kind of "thinking" believes that America's future for children would be better if we rediscover and preserve the "radical" ideas of 1776 and 1787.

Perhaps Dionne doesn't fully appreciate the great gift of liberty those "radicals" of 1776 and 1787 provided for him. Or, perhaps, he just hasn't bothered to study their ideas at all.

Go back to licking frozen railroad tracks, E.J.

At least you’re halfway competent at that.

You forgot to add the prefix “Left-Wing Lunatic” to E.J. Dionne, Jr.

A "coup"?

Really?

Is that something like changing Congressional rules so that you can ram through a piece of unpopular legislation without a single vote from the other party?

For someone who makes a conscious decision to call himself a “progressive”, E. J. certainly seems afraid of change.

The old St. Petersburg Times ran an interesting piece recently - turns out we (conservatives) understand how liberals feel about issues ( liberals took a ‘test’ - and we take the same one answering like we think they would answer). Turns out we understand them very well. We score high.

Liberals on the other hand can NOT do the same with us. We answer questions - then they fill out the same form trying to answer AS IF they were conservatives. They can't do it. They have no idea how we think. And this intensely stupid piece by E.J. Dionne Jr. proves that point. I would be embarrassed for the guy - but he's probably incapable of shame.

No wonder nobody buys the WaPo anymore. Fiction is even more believable than this garbage.

E.J. Dijon. Like Dijon Biden, another Democrat that’s never held a real job.

It’s not just that the law’s individual mandate was, until very recently, a conservative idea.

WTF is he talking about?
