22. Not to make light of this point

from the piece you linked to:

While each of the Newest Right’s proposals and policies might be defended by libertarians or conservatives on other grounds, the package as a whole—from privatizing Social Security and Medicare to disenfranchising likely Democratic voters to opposing voting rights and citizenship for illegal immigrants to chopping federal programs into 50 state programs that can be controlled by right-wing state legislatures—represents a coherent and rational strategy for maximizing the relative power of provincial white elites at a time when their numbers are in decline and history has turned against them. They are not ignoramuses, any more than Jacksonian, Confederate and Dixiecrat elites were idiots. They know what they want and they have a plan to get it—which may be more than can be said for their opponents.

True enough, though I still say they're selfish hypocrites who would eventually turn on each other.

In any case, that statement is true enough. They do know what they want, and the first part of their plan is to sabotage the federal government. Their actual power, as we saw in 2010, comes at the state and local level.

"The conservative plan is sabotage "

From the piece posted here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023788963

"In this sense, conservative Washington is a botch that will keep on working even after its formal demise. It defunded the constituencies of the liberal state while constructing a plutocracy that will stand regardless of who wins the next few elections and that will weight our politics rightward for years."

Yet people pretend it's only happening in Washington. Across the country, Republicans are digging in to help their Washington counterparts sabotage the the federal government.

Look at Wisconsin. Texas would benefit greatly if Wendy Davis won.
