      The conservative movement really could use the cleansing fire of a humiliating defeat. The hard question is how much of the country you're prepared to burn down to get that.

      The movement is encrusted with a lot of barnacles. My point is that some of them, you can't get at without doing a terrible lot of damage to innocent people.

          There are far too many Septuagenarians in office, and older geezers than that. Many of them are in office for life. This is an issue with both parties allowing the geezers to remain in office and not challenging the other sides geezers at election time, in any serious way.

          Your point is you wish for a humiliating defeat.

          The first step is to name the barnacles.

          How about "Jack Fowler?" Also, the institution he works for, the great and glorious National Review, considered by many a dimwit to be barnacley (founded Barnacle Bill the Sailor Buckley). This yearning for fires and barnacle scraping sounds like Dr. Barbay from Back to School.

          Good analogy. The problem is that we’re always convinced we’re in the middle of a storm or that one is just over the horizon. This government has rarely removed and cleaned up legislation, and is unlikely to do so anytime soon.
