Neo-populism

Atrios nails the Unified Theory of American Conservatism:

But one day I hope this country grows up and recognizes that the fear that maybe someone is getting something I'm not and they don't deserve shouldn't be the primary philosophy of governance.

Oh, but for the GOP, it is. On every domestic policy issue that will come down from the White House, the core objection raised by the Right will be that someone might get something they don't deserve.

Waitaminit. I'm a white, well-to-do USian male. And there's someone getting something I don't have?!? OUTRAGEOUS!
