The Establishment Neocon Tantrum

Students bully college administrators with contrived political demands. The administrators plead they can do better, then capitulate. Incompetent writers pen trite racial screeds aimed at the very society that lifts them above their ability. They are hailed as geniuses. Donald Trump’s bid for the Republican presidential nomination epitomizes the politics of the tantrum. He’s angry as hell, and so is his base. We’re supposed to respect this. And then there is the tantrum of Islam, another eruption of rage that feeds off our astonishing willingness to indulge it. [More -- but you'll probably need a subscription to read it]

This Stephens character is a paid  Wall Street Journal shill for, among other things, cheap labor immigration, which explains his conflating dismissal of the Trump phenomenon as a tantrum equivalent to racist crybaby "students" and terrorists. If left to this self-identified "conservative," we'll all embrace the Democrat agenda. And they'll still call useful idiots like him "uncompromising" and "extreme."

I don't suppose it occurs to him how much falls outside the limits of  his his hermetic provincial background?  He probably just thinks that makes him more sophisticated. In any case, I'm sure his masters are pleased...
