The crippling blindness of the punditry]

I normally like the CSM, but publishing this idiot has me doubting things.

If there's anything that's true about the United States of Amnesia, it's that our crisis of armed violence against African-Americans has everything to do with decisions of the founders.

All of this happened in the wake of the tragic and totally senseless shooting in Charleston, S.C., an event that had little if nothing to do with any of our Founding Fathers.

> "I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is."

Krugman nails conservative "analyses"

As in so many cases, the self-styled hardheaded realists are nothing but phony blowhards who start with the desired answer (cut taxes and regulation, privatize, etc.) and reason backwards to their desired policy prescriptions (cut taxes, privatize, etc.)

The real reason conservatives want to do away with Medicare has always been political: It's the very idea of the government providing a universal safety net that they hate, and they hate it even more when such programs are successful. But when they make their case to the public they usually shy away from making their real case, and have even, incredibly, sometimes posed as the program's defenders against liberals and their death panels.
