Jonah Goldberg: Dumb and Vicous Or

a modern Conservative. Not surprisingly, when confronting the costs of the war on drugs and the excess rate of incarceration, Goldberg decides that the most appealing solution is to "bring back the lash." What is with these people? It's bad enough that they want to repeal the whole of the 20th century's humanizing legislation in order to bring back the 19th century, now they want to repeal the Enlightenment in order to bring back the Medieval period. What's next? Try and repeal evolution in order to bring back Neanderthals?
