For his book to have any respectability whatsoever, Goldberg has to find something conservative in the civil rights movement. The religious backing is something positive. The appeals to basic human equality, to the unfulfilled 14th and 15th Amendments, and to private moral suasion instead of violence may be other positive things. But movement conservatives rejected the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It was an increase in state power. Who will he side with?

I thought of writing that MLK Day was the Christmas of liberal fascism but I thought that you had to assume that Goldberg had class. Puerto Rican Day is a better candidate. If you really marched with Dr. King, even if you are a white guy, you have every right to celebrate that day.

Mitt had two choices: run as a Northern moderate like his father, or go the crazy, right-wing, “double gitmo” route. He realized that a moderate Republican could never win, especially nowadays, and that’s why his campaign appears so phony. It is.

I hope we can someday soon tell the history of J Pantload

The real historians get very cross about that kind of thing, and since we control the final result, it pays to be nice to us.

‘Enkew!

“Romney was foolish to say what he said and, apparently explain it the way he explained it, but he has every right to take pride in what his father did.”

Says the Pantload.

I have no real problem with this, and I know enough about Romney’s father to know he wasn’t too bad, but that era seems like a million yeaars ago. And whatever nice things you can say about him certainly don’t apply to his calculating cold eyed prick of a son. Sins of the fathers, sure. Don’t make the equal mistake of bestowing credit for the virtues of the father, either.

I would also hasten to add that the Goldberg Mothership was dirty tricking for Il Milhouso around this time, so whatever ancillary credit Willard might get doesn’t flow Jonah’s way, too. Unless he can manage to suggest that Hoover was a Progressive and Man Of The Left while King was secretly a Conservative.

I know, I know…don’t tempt the bastard…
