Liberals Are Nazis, And Nazis

Governing Involves Choosing And Making Choices Between Competing Goods.

The Suggestion That Liberals Aren't Moralizers Is So Preposterous It Makes It Hard For Me To Take Any Of Them Seriously When They Wax Indignant About "moralizers." Almost Every Day, They Tell Us What Is Moral Or Immoral To Think And To Say About Race, Taxes, Abortion - You Name It. They Explain It Would Be Immoral For Me To Spend More Of My Own Money On My Own Children When That Money Could Be Spent By Government On Other People's Children. In Short, They Think Moralizing Is Fine. They Just Want To Have A Monopoly On The Franchise.

Social Distinctions Tend To Matter Only At Your Own Level And Above.

If You Spend Any Time In Washington You'll Find Nerds. What Happens Is Most Of Them Sublimate Their Fixations With Comics, Or Baseball Cards, Or 1960s British Comedies To Policy Minutiae And Political Arcana. But, Like Christians In Ancient Rome, You Can Still Spot Them If You Know The Signals.

Nothing Drives Your Opponents More Crazy Than Being Utterly Reasonable. And Nothing Makes Demonizing Or Delegitimizing Your Opponents Easier Than Letting Them Shriek Unreasonable Things For You. The Republicans Need To Get Back To Being The Party That Elicits Unreasonable Shrieking From Their Opponents. Not The Other Way Around.
