The Krugman Mentality

It is surprising that such an establishment figure can be so unhinged.  And a bit frightening because this guy is really close to the halls of liberal power.  Our Republic relies upon civility and respect for our opponents.  Something we all (me included) need to remember.

Like most liberal moralists, Mr. Krugman demonizes his opponents as not merely wicked and/or stupid/and or venal, but also “furious” because he is so right and they are so wrong. On election night 2008, he and his even more uncompromisingly liberal wife, Robin Wells, who is also a Princeton economist, had a party at which effigies of their enemies were burned. Salem, anyone?
