Thanks for posting this article.

Pat did a good job of turning the public discussion towards a more historical view of the current news.

IMHO, the reason that the TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY Party is “-— feared by Washington - - -” is that the realists understand that the TEA Party IS the Mighty Silent Majority.

2010 was just a warm up for us.

The only thing that is “new” is THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY.

RINO Hunting Season begins 1-1-2014.

BTW, this 2014 RINO hunt has no bag limits, tents or caves - - -

With all the focus on the personalities involved, and the political damage or lack thereof from what we are witnessing, I can’t help but think that the big picture is shaping up as a clear win for our side.

Liberalism itself is being exposed for what it has always been-a failed ideology-by what is happening today.

From Obamacare to foreign policy, it’s all blowing up in their faces. Worse for the left, this is exactly what conservatives said would happen.

I have a liberal acquaintance who has undergone a transformation, largely because of Obamacare, but also because she cannot defend a number of other policies that have resulted in the opposite of what she thought the outcome would be. What seems to bother her most is how Obama’s petulance has been revealed over time. The bloom is off the rose, so to speak.

If this is happening to her, it could be happening to a lot of liberals.

Democrats want to control people. Conservatives want liberty and freedom.

The gap is irreconcilable.

“We are no longer a single people with common goals.”

There are ways to rid America of ‘the others’.

PS No multi-culti’ nation has ever survived for long.

PPS That means Americans must choose between America and ‘the others’.

If someone is obsessed with burning my house down, and I am obsessed with saving it, how can we reconcile? Burn half?

“Yes... it is indeed irreconcilable and will remain so until one side or the other is dead.”

I suggest that all we need do to render the Parasitic/Democrats both harmless to the Republic, AND retain them as useful citizens is remove their franchise.

“Sorry, having voted for socialism as a Democrat was effective treason and your voting card is permanently cancelled.

PS Your taxes are going to be higher, so that you can give back some of what you voted to steal from actual Americans.

PPS Moses made a mistake, up on that mountaintop. When he wrote down the Commandment:
Don’t Steal”, he forgot the “Nor enlist thy CongressCritter to steal for you.”

Yes, unless the Dems want to reach across the isle and steer to the right instead of moving always slightly left, the way it has been going since the constitution was written. Problem is, we are now out of road to the left, any further and we are in the socialist ditch. You can only lean left for so long, then there is no alternative but lean right. We are there...right or die trying. Compromise is over with.

That 1865 conflict still hasn’t been reconciled from the lib point of view.

This conflict? No. I, for one, will NEVER trust the government again.

There could be a third way—Republocats. The mascot could be a donkey's body with an elephant's head. Some policies could be pardoning half the U.S. prison population and executing the other half. Grant amnesty to all illegal aliens after first invading, conquering and annexing Mexico. Ban handguns but legalize fully automatic firearms, crew served weapons, and light artillery. . .

A civil divorce is here. We’re just working out the details.

Does support for the continuation of the corrupt, bloated, bankrupt, anti-constitutional entitlement state stand in direct contradiction with the preservation of our liberties as a free people?

I think we all know the answer to that question.

You’re thinking a “civilized” divorce. I was just thinking a terrible, fight inducing, typical “I hate you”, shot-fired, violent and nasty divorce.
