But how do we cure the arrogance and self-centeredness of the new right and the tea party?
Think of the "You didn't build it" controversy, most of their justification for having more than someone else is that they "earned" it and don't care for anyone else. For some reason they have forgotten the contributions of those that came before and those that are around them.
I wish someone would create a reality show called "Republican Land". Have someone live somewhere, where all of their ideas are carried to their logical conclusion. From a logic standpoint I used to decribe this as instead of opposing someone pushing along their shopping cart of stupid ideas, you come along side them and help push until the cart goes over the cliff.
