...by Mark Lilla, "The Tea Party Jacobins," which includes this great quote:
A wise man once summed up the history of colonialism in a phrase: the colonized eventually colonize the colonizer.
I've often thought that the Republican Party made a couple of Faustian bargains when it launched its Southern strategy back in the 1960s and when it courted the Christian Right in the 1970s. Now those two groups own the GOP. Or in the words of David Frum, who was referring to Fox News, "We thought they were working for us and found out we were working for them."
