What a ridiculous (worthy of ridicule) argument she makes. The essay reeks of the Panic of the Left, because of actions entirely of their own doing.

I'll get some popcorn.

What I am interested in knowing, is whether or not what remains of American Conservatives will grasp the fact that we cannot coexist in the same nation with these people.

Not with any shred of liberty to be found.

It is already become them or us, but since too few are willing to even muse the reality - our enslavement to their fascist utopia seems inevitable.

A little leavening, leavens the whole lump.

I wonder if the author of this piece knows that the Democrat Party lost five out of six presidential elections between 1968 and 1988. These trends come and go.

“...conduct in order to advance a highly divisive, intensely partisan agenda.”

Did he write this when the media was breathlessly declaring with glee that “white christian men are irrelevant”? He probably wrote it. Well, it turns my stomach that people like him/her vote in people who make policies me and my kids have to live with (and likely die from). So we should just go our separate ways.

“...Republicans are also following in the footsteps of their late 20th century brethren, who, for example, didn’t just oppose and defame Bill Clinton — they impeached him.”
.
And rightfully so.

Krinton lied, under oath. Normally that places one in jeopardy of something called “Perjury”.

Fir that act, suborning perjury, there is usually a penalty that can carry a fine and imprisonment.

In fact, Krinton was found guilty of said act, fined nearly one million dollars and barred from ever arguing before the Supreme Court.

I guess he was an attorney, which might explain the severity of the consequences but, he was sparred the utter embarrassment and diminution of his presidency when the court decided not to jail him.

So yeah, he committed the offense of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” and should have been impeached.

If the Senate had a majority of Republicans he would have been found guilty and removed from office.

Luckily, he had the support of true believers, unlike Nixon who never ordered nor orchestrated the burglary of a DNC office.

Krinton embarrased himself, to the point jokes are still made in movies “Bill Clinton says this isn’t sex...”

In fact, I was watching the Royals, a tv series in Great Britain the other night and that very line was used, nearly 30 years after a blue dress was discovered that was stained by Krinton, forever staining his legacy.

Salon: “The Manchurian Candidate” – and of the sublime 1962 film with Angela Lansbury and Lawrence Harvey — was its suggestion that ultimately all fanaticisms merge and all fanatics, no matter how sharp their visible differences, become potential allies. Lansbury, an anti-communist Lady Macbeth to a vile, Joe McCarthy-like politician, plots to install her son (Harvey) in the White House with the help of China’s Communist Party."

Did this cretin actually watch the movie?

Good grief - this is too many words of drivel.

And these people think they’re the smartest people in the world?

I agree, where do find these people [they are people aren’t they] - very interesting.

Good question. It parallels the quandary faced by Israel: how to live with the presence of an alien force bent on destruction of you and your family and your way of life.

It usually takes but a sentence to discern yet another chronic sufferer of cognitive dissonance. That these mentally ill cretins are paid for the equivalent of smearing fecal matter on the wall is appalling.

The author has either one too many, or one to few “s”es in her last name.

This is an infantile screed and nearly incomprehensible. Thanks for wading into the frothy goo of extremist nonsense for us.

This kook article manages to be accurate in spots

A field of kudzu combed by a few tumbleweed

Lol

Cute metaphor

It’s bitter irony how the GOP electorally is the party of Dixie

But still mostly orchestrated by Yankees from states where GOP are losers

It’s a weird state of affairs in a Demographic winter

Young white southern conservative women....native or transplant

Get married

Drop knickers

Get busy

Unless we can convert 25-40 million Mexicans were gonna need y’all’s eggs

Purty please

You cannot. For the alien will never rest in their attempts to destroy you.

Never.

They will seek new ways to beguile you into complacency, redefine your principles and morality.

And slay you and your children in your sleep when opportunity presents itself.
