In reference to all these stupid Teabagging protest things
"Remember that these people live in a self-imposed vacuum where things like reason and evidence just do not get the chance to breathe. The fact that a 3% hike on the top tax-bracket does not constitute socialism or that the declining marginal utility of income provides a sound economic (and moral!) argument for increasing the burden of taxation of the rich never reaches these people. For them, politics is nothing more than a sport where the aim is to beat the other team: Democrats = Socialism, therefore - as fans of capitalism - the Democrats must be opposed. At no point does reason enter into this diatribe, much less any semblence of a viable, competing policy. No, the aim here is to simply jeer everything you opponent does, because they are your opponents and that's just what you do to opponents. The more competent your opponent is - or the more they marginalise you - the more hysterical and ludicrous the form your opposition must take."
Spot on, spot on.
