From my archives, “Outlaw Speak,” November 6, 2008. (Please note that at the time, mine was a site that could generate comment threads into the five hundreds. Today, most posts never get into the 20s. And yet the message has remained largely the same. As has my integrity. Go figure.) In response to my (evidently controversial) post yesterday on the dangers of what I take to be false nobility —

As longtime readers will recall, in the wake of John McCain’s pathetic, milquetoast, almost apologetic presidential campaign — which resulted in the election of Barack Obama — I berated the Mitch McConnells of the world, who told us (just two short years before the TEA Party revolution hit the electoral scene with an unpredicted fury) that the “era of Reagan was over,” and that Republicans who continued to speak in

A President who out of one side of his mouth claims we don’t have an immediate deficit problem, while out of the other proclaiming the need for a “balanced approach” to
