It is like a talisman to negate reaponsibility for dishinonest: pure phony conservative. &quot;Of course one can dispute how much of this was actually Obama\u2019s fault, and argue over what might have been done differently. &quot;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino;\">But anything to say, phony conservative hack style, liberals suck. Douthat&#39;s god. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino;\">And why is Trump popular?Cathartic howl? Typical cute Douthat rhetoric with all the depth teo dimensions can bring, yeah sure, like the nazis were a cathartic howl. Trump is popular, six months in, because he is reaping what the republican Party has sown and real american republican trash, his countrymen who Douthat respects less than Star Wars dolls,(Haravrd baby!) like the guy and think he is better than the other chump clown .1% lackeys. This, requires daily lies from Douthat and lie he does.&#0160;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino;\">Yet another proof that the only good NYT combox is a closed NYT combox.&#0160; Or: the best arguments against an open NYT combox are the contents of one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino;\">As for the quality of the Opinion Pages themselves, they are piss-poor with only two or three exceptions, Douthat being one of them.&#0160; He is worth reading.&#0160; The aptronymically-appellated Charles Blow comes across as an affirmative action hire.&#0160; I saw him on C-SPAN once.&#0160; A very nice man with a beautiful wife, and I&#39;m sure he means well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino;\">By the way, if you are a conservative you ought to do everything in your power to defund the Left, and that includes not subscribing to the Rag of Record.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino;\">&#0160;<\/span><\/p>\n<fieldset class=\"zemanta-related\">\n<legend class=\"zemanta-related-title\"><\/legend>\n<div class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0;
