Authoritarianism in America

Where are the new Conservative thinkers in America? I can't find them. I believe the whole project should be declared dead.

The only way conservative policies get adapted is by deceiving the public about their true intent, and when these policies fail, conservatives yell to the high heavens, "see, government doesn't work!". That's a pretty neat trick: destroy policies that will actually help the American people, and then piss and moan about how the government is incapable of helping anyone. Nice work if you can get it (I must admit, this not original thought at all. The evidence, however, is overwhelming).

The point here is, go read John Dean's new book: Conservatives Without Conscience.

I hope to have much more on this soon...
