Bruce Bartlett on Where the Right Went Wrong on Vimeo

Great interview. Bartlett, as usual, is dead on with his assessments. I include Bartlett in the group comprised of David Brooks, David Frum, Mark McKinnon, David Stockman and maybe a couple others. They are the handful of moderate conservatives out there that have not abandoned reason, rationality and pragmatism for empirically unsupportable and indefensible ideologies regarding economics, science, and public policy. I would reword Moyers' definition of ideology slightly. Ideology is a worldview that one believes and cannot be unmoored from despite all the evidence which proves that worldview to be false.
