Oh, Those Crunchy Cons

Yeah. I like the Birkenstocks and granola, but that Puritanical (or "quasi-Amish") streak in Crunchy Town drives me nuts, especially when its denizens start putting down individual choices. If I wanted to live in a cultural straitjacket, I'd move to Berkeley, wouldn't I?

Cam Edwards is even more skeptical than I am, and takes on Caleb Stegall over his bizarre notion that Childcare Is Generally a Bad Thing.

Cam imagines that the issue might be a teensy bit more complicated than that.

1 If they had just said "childcare is generally a bad thing", they might have had a case to argue. I'd disagree, but I'd listen. But they say "conservative leaders and spokesmen ought to be saying loud and often that with a few exceptions, anyone who would place an infant in daycare is a negligent parent and a negligent citizen". They're not crunchy, they're nuts.

2 Yeah. And I had such high hopes for the crunchy cons when I heard that they like to shop at Whole Foods Markets. I'm sooooooo pro-yummy food. ("not crunchy--nuts." Pixy, do you have any idea how many bloggers are probably kicking themselves right now for not having come up with this formulation first? Dang you're good.)
