6. The Grand Old Neophobic Party

Indeed, I believe the GOP is stuck in a kind of post-Eisenhower, "Mad Men" time-warp (as Matthew Dowd proposed), and I elaborate on this theme in my blog on Etalkinghead. Underlying so much of the Tea Party/far right rhetoric is, I believe, a deep mistrust of "the modern", in nearly all its cultural and social forms. I hope DU readers will take a look at the essay, at:
