Colin Powell's former chief of staff Lawrence Wilkerson spoke today about the hijacking of the Republican Party. Many -- Taegan, Andrew -- have pulled this money quote:

The Republican Party that I knew, that I grew up in, a moderate party, a party that believed in fiscal discipline, a party that believed in small government, a party that had genuine conservative values. This is not a conservative leadership. This is radical leadership. I called them neo-Jacobins. They are radical. They're not conservative. They've stolen my party and I would like my party back.
