But don't you understand? Any language or policy the right adopts, we must abandon, even if, on its face (if not in the right wing implementation of it), it's something we agree with. Otherwise how will we identify and shun right wingers? They could be hiding anywhere, you know.

It's like when Bush Jr. pushed for the adoption of reading programs across America that focused on phonics, so people took a rebellious stance and taught kids "balanced reading" which taught kids to memorize words rather than the sounds that make up words.

The result: an epidemic of illiteracy to own the Republicans. Bush was/is a warmongering piece of shit but he was right about phonics being the correct way to learn reading.
