Andrew Coyne: Conservatives’ effort to hide from public only gains them more enemies

“…the Conservative tragedy grinds on. When your only principle is paranoia — when your central organizing proposition is that “everyone is out to get us” — when every criticism is merely confirmation of the essential rightness of that proposition, and every deviation is evidence of disloyalty, then you are less a party than a cult.”

Strong words, this time from Andrew Coyne.
