Commentary By Ron Beasley
Robert Stacy McCain certainly qualifies as a high wingnut. In addition he has not been paying attention to what's going on in his own party.
The demonization of the "Religious Right" was a project developed by
Norman Lear and others during the Reagan era, after Jerry Falwell's
Moral Majority played such a key role in the 1980 election, and this
theme has defined the politics of the Democratic Party ever since.As
a political tactic, it is both amazingly effective and fundamentally
false. The Republican Party is chiefly devoted to political policies
having nothing specifically to do with evangelical Christianity. Yet
there is an entire industry of liberal propagandists who specialize in
seeking out various outre pronouncements of "Religious Right"
leaders and presenting these views as if they would become firm policy
in the next Republican administration.
See here, here, here and here.
In the same post he also suggests something that sounds very much like Mao, Stalin or even Adolph Hitler.
If Messrs. Podhorhetz, et al., wish to promote conservatism
among American Jews, let them find some way to encourage Jewish
families to move to small towns in the Heartland, where their kids can
grow up hunting, fishing and hot-rodding the backroads. A guy with a
gun rack in the back window of his four-wheel drive truck may
occasionally vote Democrat, but he's extremely unlikely to be an
out-and-out liberal.
So high wingnut McCain is suggesting relocation for political re-indoctrination of Jews - turn them into to rednecks.
Hell no, we won't go! All kidding aside, there's no place you can send us that'll turn us into rednecks -- it's genetic.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think so Karl!
ReplyDeleteMany of us fish, but hunted game is not schechted and so is not kosher. So, you know, thanks, but no.
