"I return to a theme that may seem tiresome, but it is so important: How dysfunctional our politics have become and, specifically, the takeover of one of our two mass political parties by extremists. If all these Tea Partiers really knew the Constitution and the republic’s founding, they would know that the framers 1) Were not reactionaries but to greater or lesser degrees Enlightenment liberals guided by reason; 2) Mistrusted the sentiment of the mob (Tea Party); 3) Created a strong central government with checks and balances; 4) Quite deliberately separated church and state; 5) Hated the idea of parties (faction), which had doomed previous republics, and 6) Insisted on compromise to create and build a nation. None of this describes today’s GOP."
