How can Nicholas Kristof be so DUMB? Here’s how:
“Time To Get Religion,” his
column this morning, in which he offers the Democrats four suggestions for future success:
• Don’t be afraid of religion.
• Pick battles of substance, not symbolism.
• Accept
that today, gun control is a nonstarter.
• Hold your nose and work with President
Bush.
Call me an effete-pinko-commie-atheist-liberal-antiwar idjit, but who wants that kind of
success? Did the red-white-and-blue-religious-conservative-right-wing-Republican-neocon-hawk
matadors achieve success through compromise?
And anyway, nothing the Democrats do — from bending their principles to outright
appeasement — will gain them an inch with Republicans, who see their election victory as a
diktat from, by, and for the people that gives them the right to rule with
impunity.
