While reading this post from Ed Driscoll, I came across this great quote from Garrison Keillor, who obviously knows and understands people on the right:
The party of Lincoln and Liberty was transmogrified into the party of hairy-backed swamp developers and corporate shills, faith-based economists, fundamentalist bullies with Bibles, Christians of convenience, freelance racists, misanthropic frat boys, shrieking midgets of AM radio, tax cheats, nihilists in golf pants, brownshirts in pinstripes, sweatshop tycoons, hacks, fakirs, aggressive dorks, Lamborghini libertarians, people who believe Neil Armstrong’s moonwalk was filmed in Roswell, New Mexico, little honkers out to diminish the rest of us, Newt’s evil spawn and their Etch-A-Sketch president, a dull and rigid man suspicious of the free flow of information and of secular institutions, whose philosophy is a jumble of badly sutured body parts trying to walk.
Which reminded me of this great blog: Nihilist in Golf Pants. He’s got a few friends up there in Minnesota, but it has to be a little lonely being the crank he is in that part of the country.
I’ve added the Nihilist to the link roll.
The next post will cover those evil Rotarians.
