The GOP Is Braindead

Austin Bramwell reviews Sam Tanenhaus' new book, The Death of Conservatism:

The conservative movement isn't dangerous or "revanchist;" it's just boring. Right-wing intellectuals should eschew the movement and reintegrate into the mainstream, not because the movement threatens the Republic, but because freedom of thought can only be found outside of it.

I hope the Dish can play a part in trying to add ideas and debates to the mix. The only movement I believe in is in the morning after my coffee.
