Kansas all over again
I have mentioned Thomas Frank’s What’s the Matter with Kansas before. Well it seems to be breaking down. The problem of course with ignoring the economic priorities of a political party when hijacking it with values based prerogatives is that there is a Constitutional (read: fundamental political) separation between church and state but not between business and state. Workers don’t want illegal immigrants and business cannot increase earnings without them. Sounds like two different parties to me - regardless of their take on abortion and pornography (both still legal).
