[T]here are two things I find remarkable about the G.O.P., and especially its more conservative wing, which is now about all there is.
The first is how wrong conservative Republicans have been on so many profoundly important matters for so many years. The second is how the G.O.P. has nevertheless been able to persuade so many voters of modest means that its wrongheaded, favor-the-rich, country-be-damned approach was not only good for working Americans, but was the patriotic way to go.
Exactly. Voting Republican is like choosing the world's worst surgeon just to spite the good ones, what with their fancy medical degrees and competence and all. Not to mention some of them have Arab-sounding names -- and you know what that means. Hell, one of 'em was even born in Hawaii, which is right next to Iraq*. You probably didn't know that. Think about it.

Heck, if you could reach all the way back there, you'd do the operation yourself. You're a Self-Made Man (sorry, parents)! You don't need other people! You sure as hell don't need those terrorist-loving, taxpayer-supported commie paramedics taking away your freedoms!
Just be sure you question everybody's patriotism as they fix you up. And refuse that socialist Medicare coverage! Too bad your private insurance dropped you 10 years ago for the sprain you got flipping Clinton the bird.
