The cultish nature of modern conservatism is
obvious. Dan Riehl's
response (via
Memeorandum) to NRO's call for Willard to release more tax returns is simply example # 1,387,176 or so. For Riehl,
National Review's editorial isn't simply a tactical error, but a betrayal:
Next time you opt to stab a GOP candidate in the back, how about having the balls to put your name on it? I don't think that's too much to ask.
I really, really want to play nice with everyone on our side, but when I see this high minded BS from people who've never even run for anything, it smokes my butt. . .And don't give me this, well, we can disagree BS, either.
You aren't even on any team you're a got damned cheerleader on the sidelines and right now you look silly in that frilly skirt you're wearing. So STFU if you don't have anything good to say, or just go the hell away. It isn't like anyone would miss most of NRO if it did, frankly. (emphasis added)
Get it NRO?—Mitt is now Leader of the Cause and the Cause must be served.
