Dixies Political Blog

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 00:32:58 -0700

FROM THE PAGE: "Welcome to my political blog. What you'll find here are the musings of a somewhat curmudgeonly, cynical observer of the political process and the resultant theater. I do love irony and you really can't discuss politics too long before you're in over your waders in burlesque."

This blogger is off to a great start. Check it out. It seems to just get better. Good luck Dixie!

Thinking conservatives: MIAs of the GOP -- latimes.com

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 06:09:37 -0700

From the page: "But enjoyable as it's been to watch conservatives flee from the GOP, something about all this leaves me feeling a little down. Because as the more respectable, literate conservatives distance themselves from the GOP, increasingly, the only ones left on the right are paranoid, rage-driven, xenophobic nuts. Bitter? You betcha! Twisted too!

Even for a liberal, it's painful to watch. Once, the GOP proudly claimed to be the "party of ideas." They weren't generally good ideas, it's true -- but they were ideas eloquently defended by men and women who believed it was their duty to study history, philosophy, science, economics and international relations and to do the intellectual heavy lifting needed to try to persuade smart people with different views to come around to their way of thinking. That was the GOP nurtured by conservative intellectuals such as William Buckley. Buckley was many things liberals didn't admire, but he wasn't ignorant, savage or stupid by choice.

But today, as the last few sober grown-ups leave the party, the visible face of the GOP increasingly looks like that of the people who shout "kill him!" when Obama's name comes up, who speak of black men they don't like as "uppity" or as "boys," who think you can't trust a Muslim or an Arab, who think talking about "Barack Hussein Osama" is witty and (I'm talking to you, Sarah Palin and John McCain) who claim Obama "pals around with terrorists."

This isn't really that funny anymore. "
