I can’t say that I enjoy the analysis by New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, but I have to give him credit for stirring up some less than mainstream points of view. Take the following quote as an example:
From Glenn Beck to the Tea Parties, much of the energy in the post-Bush G.O.P. is with people who have grasped, albeit sometimes in inchoate ways, that big government and big business are increasingly on one team, and the champions of free markets and limited government are on the other.
I think this is a fundamentally flawed perception–big business is on the team of whoever is in power–but I couldn’t stop thinking about it for three hours today.
