We're Not in Lake Wobegon Anymore. (http://www.inthesetimes.com/site/main/print/were_not_in_lake_wobegon_anymore/)

Take the time to read this great article by Garrison Keillor.

I enjoyed it.

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

:lol

Dante said that the hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who in time of crisis remain neutral

That's poetry! :hat

And the party of Jefferson and Jackson has become the party which worships at the altar of an ever intrusive federal government, by and for trial lawyers, slackers, etc....

For such an esteemed author this article is rather infantile.

they will lie about their economic policies with astonishing enthusiasmOn this charge, I would indict both parties as well as the population who can't handle the truth.
