Some anti-GOP stuff

I've linked, often favorably, to a lot of pieces about the GOP's problems and need to reform. I didn't always agree with the pieces, but thought they had substance worth considering. By contrast, here's one that's just empty sneering: "Scientology for Rednecks: What the GOP Has Become," by Michael S. Lofgren.

It's not really worth reading, but even with that headline, there was no way to be sure of that in advance. And as I'll discuss in my upcoming column, it's important not to insulate yourself from potentially disagreeable information. I've been surprised, occasionally, when people I thought appreciated that principle turned out to be unable to handle dissension, after all.
