Hofstadter Proven Correct Again
(Guest Post by Big Tent Democrat)
From TRex, via Steve Gilliard:
During a news conference last week, [Georgia Republican Governor Sonny] Perdue said, "It is simply unacceptable for people to sneak into this country illegally on Thursday, obtain a government-issued ID on Friday, head for the welfare office on Monday and cast a vote on Tuesday," according to a transcript provided by Perdue's press office.
Richard Hofstadter is right again:
Amid the current dizzy political scene--with its snake-oil preachers, and anti-Darwinian Social Darwinists , and Indian casino rip-off artists, and a president whose friends say he thinks he is ordained by God--Hofstadter's sharpness about the darker follies of American democracy seems more urgently needed than ever.
