What progressives should learn from Norquist isn't just the power of organization and coordination, as important as they are. Rather, it's the warrior spirit that animates Norquist and his allies. As Newt Gingrich told the conservative Heritage Foundation back in 1988, "This war [between liberals and conservatives] has to be fought with the scale and duration and savagery that is only true of civil wars." After George W. Bush took office in 2001, Norquist told the crowd at a Republican fundraiser, "The Democrats are the Lefties, the takers, the coercive utopians…They are not stupid, they are evil. Evil!" Great article........it says it all. By posting on this thread for the past two years, I had already gotten the jist of the article. Nearly, a year ago, I realized how well organized and connected the GOP had become. Actually, I was astounded. And I was more shocked by their take no prisoners attitude. I felt like I was arguing with someone from another country.....not a fellow American. Its why I don't brook for their schiesse now. Amy needs to read this article. I don't think she gets yet what's going on. In fact, I will post it to her. ted
