Going To The Well Again, After It's Dried Up & Blown Away

We noticed the cover of this week's Weekly Standard when going over the Sam Schulman kinship system marriage article.

Jonathan Chait at TNR seems to have read the entire cover story. His conclusion:

This is what Reagan did while in opposition. It is what conservatives could start doing right now.

That's the whole argument. After nearly 5,000 words detailing Reagan's activities, Emerie concludes by asserting that conservatives  today should follow his example. You'd think she would feel the need to write at least a couple of paragraphs explaining why Reagan's approach is well-suited to the current political landscape, but no. In conservative circles that step is simply assumed.

Wiiliam Kristol & co-editor Fred Barnes. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Again & again & again. Let's all hope it never stops.
