WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE? Republicans just voted to end Medicare. Well, if they did, then you’d think I’d notice, being a Medicare “recipient” after all.

This column is notable only for its irrationality: the consistent theme throughout is that violent, nihilistic behavior is fine if it advances my cause, but the same behavior in the advancement of your cause is not just wrong, but vile and villianous.

To be progressive is to be able to hold (at least) two mutually contradictory thoughts in mind simultaneously.
