Troxler on Jeb

Howard Troxler is writing about Jeb, but he could just as easily be speaking of any number of Republican leaders (especially W) who feel that any compromise is a loss. Does anyone else remember when compromise on all sides, a meeting in the middle, was considered essential for a democracy to function?

You may not disagree with Gov. Jeb Bush.

No. You may not disagree. You are not permitted.

If you do disagree with Gov. Jeb Bush, then your disagreement is not based on principle.

No. Only the governor has principles.

You do not have any principles.

I guess when you live under the rule of one dominant party, you learn (perhaps you are re-educated?) to agree. As Jeb and his ilk are fond of saying, if you don’t like it, you can always leave.
