“It is obvious that Mike Lofgren has had a sudden infatuation with a liberal homosexual lover.”
This is my suspicion as well. The article is nothing more than the usual compendium of the usual leftist fictions and smears. Nowhere in the piece is there anything that resembles serious analysis.
If nothing else, the piece illustrates how the Rs allow themselves to be subverted. The writer didn’t just have a psychotic moment and then disintegrate into the person who wrote this article. He surely has been like this for a very long time, and somehow the Rs don’t seem to understand that people like this are subverting their policies and giving them bad advice.
Another interesting part of the rant is the effort to promote one of the newer liberal sneer/smears: conservatives as “low information” voters.
Apart from their sheer viciousness, leftists obviously have profound ego needs borne out of a dim awareness that their worldview is false. The nearly hysterical rhetoric of the left is an anodyne: Lofgren is struggling to avoid watching what Herbert Spencer called “The Tragedy of the Murder of a Beautiful Theory by a Brutal Gang of Facts” - a drama in which the left’s worldview is cast in the leading role of The Beautiful Theory.
Yes, based on the “hissy fit” quality of the author’s writing, my conjecture is that we are witnessing the middle-life crisis of a sodomite. The Rs that gave him various staff positions should be “outed” and shamed.
