Movement Conservatives just claimed the head of House Speaker John Boehner. His political death was the price of preventing a catastrophic government shutdown after Movement Conservatives in Congress tied the very survival of the United States government to their determination to defund Planned Parenthood. Movement Conservatives are gunning for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell next. We should be very afraid. Boehner and McConnell are not wild-eyed lefties. They are on the very far right of the American political spectrum: fervently pro-business, antiabortion, opposed to social welfare legislation. But they are old-school politicians who still have faith in the idea of American democracy.
Movement Conservatives do not. They want to blow up the government and remake America according to their own radical ideology.
Since the 1950s, Movement Conservatives have set out to destroy the form of federal government that came out of the New Deal. After the Great Crash and the ensuing Depression, most Americans believed that the government must regulate business and protect labor in order to create a stable, prosperous society. But businessmen hated the very same New Deal regulations most Americans liked. The captains of industry believed that government meddling in their affairs would disrupt economic laws. This would cripple their enterprises and, in turn, cripple the American economy. But the New Deal consensus was enormously popular, and actually made for a stable economy in which most Americans enjoyed security. Business interests could not fight this consensus on the merits, or they would continue to lose.

Something about her five-o'-clock shadow is bothering me...
Ms. Cox ain’t seen nothing yet!
Catastrophic. Right. Like spending shutdown money to close open-air, unguided memorials so our vets couldn't visit them.
There no cost to leave them alone but obammy closes them with barricades.
Oh yeah, right. Nobody should be “very afraid” of scaling back the federal government and increasing individual liberty. Nobody should be afraid of protecting innocent human life. Somebody needs to push back hard on this nonsense, and Boehner was not the man for the job.
“Authoritarians”
Right. It’s not us telling everybody else you have to love, accept, endorse, and enjoy sodomy and homo “marriage.” It’s not us sending people to prison for following their First Amendment protected rights to freedom of religion. It’s not us forcing people to take photographs, bake cakes, and arrange flowers for people who do not think like us. It’s not us telling you what windows to install in your house, what type of light bulb you can buy, what car to drive, how much water your toilet should use, and who your neighbors will be.
Conservatives want the God damned authoritarian government and authoritarian leftists permanently out of our lives.

+1!!!
And WTH can’t we buy a decent washing machine that will fill with water and agitate the heck out of the clothes?
[[Boehner and McConnell are not wild-eyed lefties. They are on the very far right ]]
Stopped reading right there as it is very apparent the writer is a LIAR!
That’s a dude, Dude!
Solon not really a credible source for anything, unless you’re with the “broke Dick left contingent” and quite honestly the last 40 years with them (the left) screwing up everything to include “wet dreams” may be the right wing crazies can get it done better.
Movement Conservatives are gunning for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell next. We should be very afraid.
