..snip..But as dangerous as are Obama's self-delusions and extremist ideology, those aren't the only reasons to fear for the country. We also have reason to fear because his opposition cannibalizes itself. It spends more time arguing over whether its leaders are being "tough" enough with regard to one seventy-fifth of the budget than it does in figuring out how to evict Obama from office.
It spends more time arguing over whether a cut in budget authority is a real cut (it most certainly is) or a "fake" cut than it spends explaining and publicizing why its own budget, the Ryan plan, would mark a huge advance in individual freedom, prosperity, and fiscal survivability. It spends more time freaking out and engaging in internal warfare than it spends keeping its eye on the ball, long-term.
With a needlessly fractious opposition like this, Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Elena Kagan and all the government-firsters in their ranks may well survive their own deep unpopularity. They may survive their own fecklessness.
They may survive their own, abundantly evident hypocrisy, and may survive their own ineptness. They may do so because their opposition -- the activists who carry the ball for the majority of Americans who are basically center-right, basically market-oriented, basically individualist -- is so pathetically unable to get its act together.
