Unsolicited-opinion-i.e.-venting dept: State of universe is most dire I’ve
seen, since I have no recollection of J McCarthy, Louis Quatorze or Torquemada.
Technique of Right: gatling-gun approach. Zap them w/so many outrageousnesses
they get demoralized, fragmented, & diverted from actual top priorities
while Right sneaks around in the background doing invisible sometimes visible
mischief. A recess appointment? A constitutional
amendment sanctifying the flag, for god’s sake? The US capitol & various ofc
buildings are high-rent properties & they’re vandalizing them. Friday
afternoon news conferences? Trashing wildernesses? I say all this, of course,
doubtlessly trite by now, w/o benefit of blogs of which I’m illiterate. I just
get my stuff from evil NPR & varied print media. Check out –if there’s
time –the 6/27 New Yorker piece re Patrick Henry college, which uses amazingly
sheltered Boy & Girl scouts as raw material for ghastly Christian
politicos. Don’t you love adverbs?
[To which I fearlessly reply that indeed they are among my favorite modifiers.]
