Over at RedState, the passage of health care reform has resulted in the kind of thoughtful, rational critique we’ve come to expect from the conservative movement:
Example 1: We’re just like the French Legion marching into battle!
Example 2: Democrats are just like ancient Hebrew monarchists!
Example 3: The passage of health care reform is just like Pearl Harbor!
In all seriousness, this all-too-common thread of reaction reveals where the base of the conservative movement is today. The passage of health care reform does not simply represent a policy agenda with which they disagree – it is an unlawful usurpation of power by an illegitimate anti-American government. Hence the militaristic language and laughable self-identification with combatants in actual wars.
To say they’ve lost all historical perspective and grip on reality is a bit of an understatement.
