I'd say this, from Glenn Reynolds, sums up what's wrong with the Republican party pretty well:
BLOG COMMENT OF THE DAY: “Let’s just say that the libertarian movement would do well to spend less time reading Ayn Rand and more time reading Dale Carnegie.”
Yeah - self help - exactly what we need to become laughing stocks, twice in a row!
Not surprising from the Instapundit. Further down the rabbit hole. Lost.
I'm thinking about talking to these guys 'cause, pardon me, but failure is no longer an option,,..
Would it be too much to ask if they'd quit reading either one and start looking at the facts on the ground around them?
ReplyDeleteI like reading and all, being an English major, but sometimes you have to get your nose out of the books and get outside and doing something.

ReplyDeleteOr something like this. 'Footloose'? "cool"? Really? This is the new GOP strategy -- we got to get cool, fight the Man, so the kids will like us? This is what's going to help the country?
Well I was a kid once, and I was a dumb little jackass (and in the back of my selfish little mind I did recognize that I was behaving the fool, but hey, at that age if you can get away with it) -- the worst thing that could have happened to my immediate vicinity was all the adults deciding they'd pander to me because they wanted to be my buddy, to be liked by me. Fortunately for me and the surrounding territory the majority of adults acted like adults and put a knot in my idiot tail.
I can get the "don't be preachy part" but not the becoming "hip" crap. Way to go the wrong way again GOP!
