Will long ago became an insufferable, condescending a-hole who has convinced himself he’s the only intelligent creature on the planet. He believes humans are incapable of acting from altruistic motives. No matter our beliefs, we simply are stupid sheep following the command of our masters. Jerk-off.
Next time, let me know how you really feel.
Nicely elaborated ad hominem, but you're wrong on both counts. (Read the article.)
Will first advertises Jay Cost as being an intelligent man with something to say, and then tells us what Cost said. Then Will mentions in passing that the Tea Party people, unassisted by anyone but the great writers and speakers of the past (Ronald Reagan and Aristotle are both cited and quoted), have arrived at the correct conclusion that FDR's "coalition" politics is a come-on for the greedy, the needy, the self-important and the sharp-elbowed, and is a Very Bad Thing.
Will's attitude is as you say it is, but his article said a couple of things that are helpful, while staying within his limit of column-inches.
