Bye Bye to William Kristol and his Fantasy World…
… where all things conservative are moral, true and good.
Mr. Kristol must have been snorting oxycontin with Rush Limbaugh before he wrote today’s fantasy piece:
All good things must come to an end. Jan. 20, 2009, marked the end of a conservative era.
Since Ronald Reagan’s election in 1980, conservatives of various sorts, and conservatisms of various stripes, have generally been in the ascendancy. And a good thing, too! Conservatives have been right more often than not — and more often than liberals — about most of the important issues of the day: about Communism and jihadism, crime and welfare, education and the family. Conservative policies have on the whole worked — insofar as any set of policies can be said to “work” in the real world. Conservatives of the Reagan-Bush-Gingrich-Bush years have a fair amount to be proud of.
After I stopped laughing, I continued reading all the way to the end where I found this note:
This is William Kristol’s last column.
So after a little more than a year, The New York Times has given up on William Kristol. His being wrong about pretty much everything pretty much all of the time probably had something to do their decision. Maybe now they will fill the conservative gap with someone who actually thinks issues through well enough to write convincing arguments for his side instead of another airhead cheerleader for the Republican Party.
