The Mississippi River is now the Mississippi Reagan.
Next people will start theorizing about some mythical magazine called "The Weekly Standard," probably going so far as to claim it has a strong "neo-"something bent (it's always "neo" something with these people, isn't it). Oh, the conspiracy theories people are willing to countenance in politics.
cute video, ross, but it's not a response to kevin's point. this thread of discussion bounces back to jacob levy's critique of linda hirshman's rawls essay in TNR, where he accuses some progressives of being technocratic, racist, social darwinists. by accepting these rules of engagement, what's to stop any liberal OR progressive from identifying one or two philosophical strands that a modern conservative like david cameron or fred thompson shares with stalin or, fantastically, charles manson, and then making the maximalist claim that they are intellectual bloodbrothers? i'm sure there's something they agree on in the large expanse of issues that their ideologies cover. i seem to remember a section or two of theodore kaczynski's writings that were critical of new biological research... does that mean that you support sending letterbombs to stem-cell researchers? *I* don't think so, but you are advocating a method of argument that would allow someone less scrupulous to make that claim about you.
It's a rather open conspiracy to control the American mind. And it's become less and less homorous as it achieves success. Maybe it has to be stood up to? http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/2004/Republican-Propaganda1sep04.htm

Yeah, that's pretty good; but it doesn't have Bob Dole reading from the Necronomicon, which is simply sublime.
