Another Conservative Breaks With The 'New Hysterical Extreme Right'

3. the way I see this

. . . is a desperate last attempt to rationalize a failed and inherently destructive ideology and politics. It's not that conservative politics have changed so much in Fumento's time; it's just that they've run clean out of the rope voters have given them to hang themselves over the past few decades since the purists' idol, Goldwater held their attention.

His mentor, Reagan was Fumento's fav because he was able to cloak his anti-government, anti-worker, anti-poor agenda in all sorts of patriotic nonsense for the true believers to munch on as they evicerated our social safety nets with glee and abandon.

Now, Fumento wants to bring his own brand of kinder-gentler corporatist politics out from under the rock where his party resides in hopes of providing cover for the wanton racism, sexism, homophobia, and elitism that his party's presumptive nominee and his supporters so recklessly embody and exude.

Good luck with that, Mr. Fumento.
