In the midst of fighting alligators with blog entries it is inspiring to pause and read something written by a bigger thinker drainer of the swamp of ignorance.
GOP and the Rise of Anti-Knowledge
"The current wave, which now threatens to swamp our political culture,
began in a similar fashion with the rise to prominence in the 1970s of
fundamentalists like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. But to a far
greater degree than previous outbreaks, fundamentalism has merged its
personnel, its policies, its tactics and its fate with a major American
political party, the Republicans."
Mike Lofgren is a former congressional staff member who served
on both the House and Senate budget committees. His book about Congress,
The Party is Over: How Republicans Went Crazy, Democrats Became Useless, and the Middle Class Got Shafted, appeared in paperback in August 2013. His new book, The Deep State: The Fall of the Constitution and the Rise of a Shadow Government, will be published in January 2016.
Not just the Republicans but the Democrats too.
