"The Right's Disturbing New Anti-Statists"
So says E. J. Dionne, and old-style “vital center” type. What a dickhead. If only the Right was as radically anti-statist as he claims.
Pan-seccessionism against the empire

Disturbing, yes. Anti-statist, no.

This reminds me… has anyone seen that new MSNBC special “Rise of the New Right” presented by Chris Mathews?

I used to see plenty of that kind of stuff in the 90s concerning the militia/patriot movement. Left-liberals believe in statism as an ideal unto itself, just like they believe in civil rights and gay marriage. For them, hating the state is like hating blacks, Jews, gays, immigrants, or other traditional outgroups. I recall seeing a book by a leftist lawyer named Kenneth Stern where he accused the patriot movement of expressing “bigotry” and “intolerance” towards so-called “federal employees” (i.e. state bureaucrats). Yes, he actually said that.
