Salon is a ridiculous Marxist rag IMO.

“Constitutions matter, but every political system depends as well on informal norms, a more or less tacit consensus on how things will be done and what kind of behavior is and isn’t acceptable.”

AND OBAMA IS CRAPPING ALL OVER THAT YOU MORON!

Kim’s analytical abilities are about -10 while his rhetorical talents are + 10. Par for the course for progressive journalists. Spewing nonsense is easy.

Someone’s got teir panties in a wad.

I debate some of these Libs on Twitter. Wste of time. They project some wild strawman on us, and then cannot be persuaded they are wrong no matter how severe the cognitive dissonance.

I now believe it is a form of insanity.

Conservatives despise the current "American State" because it is empowered by the spirit of the Leviathan, a.k.a. Satan.

I’ll say this for the lefties. Their nonsensical, worthless rants are getting more wordy these days.

I just find it incredibly amazing they don’t see their own “fanaticism.”

I have been watching “The Americans” and it’s just the same exact mindset. They think everyone else is a madman and evil for doing “horrible” things like letting Russians steal fake plans that sink one of the subs, yet think nothing of stealing the plans, killing people for their ideology, etc.

That’s the liberal mindset no wonder what kind of leftist “ism” it is. They are the only ones on the planet with good intentions, they have no selfish motives ever, the only people that are evil are those that oppose them. THAT is the liberal mindset. Foundation: hypocrisy fortified with rationalization.

Under a rock? Living in a cave somewhere wearing rose colored glasses and smoking... Whatever?

Our educational system in this country is a complete and total FAILURE!

I have yet to meet, read or hear about a Progressive that can calmly and accurately explain what it is that conservatives actually believe.

Opinion maybe, but also happens to be a fact.

How is something ‘’informal’’ and a ‘’norm’’ at the same time? Honest to God these idiots make up words and terms as it suits them.

I can hardly wait to see the articles the Men Seeking Men media write when President Walker or President Palin rule by EO.

“Where do they find these people?”

I’m guessing insane asylums and crackhouses! ;)

The first time I read Salon I didn’t even finish the article and thought ‘wth is this’. That was in 1999 when the site was new and I was a mostly-apolitical high schooler.

Its adherents find it easier to cooperate with the leader of Israel’s Likud Party than with their Democratic colleagues in the American Congress.

What projection! Actually, it's Obama who is much more comfortable with Islamist and Communist dictators than with Republicans he can't lower himself to speak with.
