A Party of Our Own

I don’t know who Jennifer Kesler is but I agree with what she says completely, and that never happens:

I actually like small government and a truly “conservative” approach to the economy. But the GOP is only about “small government” when it comes to the poor. In addition to serving bigots, they will expand the government as much as you want if it helps out Wall Street, bails out big business, or improves the sleep of people who want better policing of those nasty women, gays and all those people of color we need to shoot. They can always find funding for a new series of departments to cover those needs. The GOP as we know it will die in a couple of decades, if not before. Nothing can stop that. They didn’t just put their money on the wrong horse: they bought the horse, rode it proudly at every event and loudly publicized how much it meant to them.

Maybe Jennifer Kesler and I should start a party of our own.

  1. Maybe you two should form a party. I don’t know Jennifer Kesler but I know of her. She’s proprietor of the blog What Privilege? (a perennial favorite of mine) which I would guess is an exercise of what you denounce as “privilege scratching.” But perhaps I misunderstand either you or her. Clearly you two have things in common and should probably collaborate or something.

    1. So I followed the link and found this: “It’s often an act of privilege to tell people to stop complaining because they are so privileged.”

      Oh Lordy.

      I have no idea why this always happens to me but the moment I find somebody who sounds politically close to me, an enormous disappearance awaits me.
