... you read it in Kos first. Brilliant, chilling analysis. Read the whole thing.

UPDATE Alert reader catalexis comments:

Damn good piece. It kind of puts a bucket of cold water on things, including the attractivness of the angry Left, which, darn it, I was really warming up to. Now, of course it becomes clear that we must fight for the center.

I'm not talking about abandoning anyone, the unions, GLBT, the poor, minorities, all of these are still our people and we will still insist on their full inclusion in our society but we must deny the radical his fuel, or the center gets clobbered.

The language of the fight, the slogans of war, these must be put aside and turned aside and neither waved nor engaged. We are being ju-jitsued, that's what happened to us last week, we got out pumped-up, new plan needed. We shall not abandon the struggle but we need to lose the martial trappings, they're tripping us up when we least expect it.

Yeah, I could work up to militancy too. Just needs to be militancy of the right kind...
