This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

I read that “Party of Work” thing at the Times. Brooks never mentions how Republicans really wield it. They believe themselves to be the only people who work hard; none work harder or are more real and self-reliant than white Republicans. And it’s a boast made to belittle others not-Republican, always. BooMan calls them the party of racist assholes. There’s nothing that comes from the Republican Party now that doesn’t explicitly belittle and insult others who are not extremist Republican. As the “party of work” they’re superior in all, everyone else being lazy swine. What? Women didn’t vote for us? F— them, they’re sluts. What, Latinos didn’t vote for us? F— them, they’re wetbacks and probably voted illegally. What, the only black Americans who voted for us were JC Watts and Alan West? F— them, they all have Obamaphones. What, students didn’t vote for us except at Ol’ Miss? F— them, they’re getting elitist snob educations! And we know it’s not exaggeration. It’s the identity they cling to. Unremarkably, we saw it coming, the election only reinforced all their badness. They feel that rejection, by a majority they consider all to be pig dogs, as proof of their virtue.

The usual suspects (Krauthammer, Cal Thomas, et al.) are already beating the “We need to be more conservative” drums.
They will remain in business. Hate always finds buyers.
Rude offered Republicans a three word solution: Stop being jerks.
They won’t. They can’t. As you say, it’s who they are.
