I’m sorry Bob, but we just can’t take that chance. We must destroy Roderick to save him.

Yeah, obviously the concept predated the term for it. That should be a given, otherwise you have nothing to name.

Gee, that sounds a bit harsh. I’m sure Roderick is a smart enough and principled enough radical to be able to maintain his radical principles when surrounded by varying types of reformists.

Bob Barr, he ain’t.

I have to cringe any time anyone says “The founders believed…” about anything. With the possible exception of the idea that independence from Britain was a desirable thing, it’s hard to find anything that all the founders agreed on all the time. The history of our Constitution is a history of bitter arguments and endless compromises. We do a disservice to history by pretending it was produced by some homogeneous group of “founders”.

Sounds like the LP has internally replicated the mainstream political establishment’s invisible hand process for keeping the radicals down and out.

Thankfully, as a result of that, I no longer feel obligated to Satanically curse you. You came this close to being literally thrown under a bus.
