John Cole sums up the current Republican Party.

An excerpt:

Of course they are crazy. Ross Douthat is just a hack who does his best to run cover for his dumber compadres, but they are all crazy. There is really no reason to debate this anymore. They deny evolution, many of them think the earth is only several thousand years old, they don’t believe in global climate change and adamantly don’t believe humans have anything to do with it, they think being gay is a choice and I guaran-god-damned-tee that at least half of them think you can pray it away, they think stem cells are tiny babies, they think Saddam Hussein had a role in 9/11, they think you can cut taxes indefinitely and government revenues will always increase, they think Sarah Palin is qualified to be President and Joe the Plumber has keen political insights, they think Obama may be a Muslim and might not be a citizen, they think the solution to gun violence is more guns, and that dijon mustard and arugula are elitist, that the President who appointed half of Goldman Sachs to his administration is a socialist, and so on.

He left something out.

As I drove to DL last night, I found myself musing on how cruel and heartless, even sadistic, the Republican Party has become.

It quite happily leaves persons to starve in their homeless tent cities, to die for lack of health care.

It no longer pays even lip service to the concept of the common weal.

If you don’t have a (preferably corporate-paid) country club membership, it cares not for you.
