First Against The Wall

I can't improve upon Belle Waring's take: "This may be the single most wrong-headed thing I have ever read about politics on the internet, and I think we all know that’s saying a lot."

Ezra Klein

When the Ends Justify the Means

Bill Maher succinctly captures the essence of a post I've wanted to write for some time. For the Republican Party and it's followers, the ends justify the means. Bill manages to make the connection that Scientologists also subscribe to this philosophy, which isn't a connection I'd made before but certainly helps to illustrate the concept. It also means there won't be a level playing field in the national political arena for the foreseeable future since the Democratic Party can't use the same tactics without sacrificing their soul.
