They like to intimidate moderate republicans, and moderate republicans love to cave.
But conservatives, REAL CONSERVATIVES, actually fight them, and they're not used to that... and most times, don't know how to respond. They cry racism, etc. But that's not working anymore.
I propose a new nickname for Mitch McConnell:
“You’re Next”
What we need is a restart of HUAC. THEN they can be afraid.
Heather the Drama Queen. She’ll probably get an Oscar this year.
I only wish that constitutionalists ruled the GOP. Then Salon would REALLY be all wee weed up. They just want their fascist tyrants in charge.
The earlier article from the Atlantic reminded me to clean the toilet.
An article from Salon reminds me to check the sewer :)
they dont pretend anymore. Called the Bible a mythical book last week.
It’s radical to be against the death of innocents.
It’s radical to advocate limits on government.
It’s radical to espouse spending no more than you take in.
It’s radical to support a strong military.
It’s radical to believe in controlled and vetted immigration.
It’s radical to believe people are better equipped to make life choices than the government.
It’s radical to expect our government employees and representatives be held to the same standards of law and accountability as the general population.
Clearly, the definition of radical has changed.
Makes you wonder whose side Boehner was on.
I suppose from the author's perspective, that might be a true statement. Just like I can't tell the difference between Vladamir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and her.
Libs are effective because they can lie and state those lies as facts. Add to that an American people who severely lack critical thinking skills and you get the far left running the country. One thing that puzzles me though is that libs are always mad even though they get anything and everything that they want. If not immediately then in a year or two they get it. If conservatives won have as much as libs do I’d be on cloud nine.
Boy these guys really project their actions and beliefs on others. They are really blind to their own actions.
...”very survival of the United States government. ..”
“..catastrophic government shutdown”...
A catastrophe, young lady, is oh, say, an f5 tornado or a 10 ft tsunami. 9/11was a catastrophe. See the idea here?
The government shutting down is not catastrophic. Most of it doesn’t shut down anyway. It’s a joke. Like your thinking.
That does support the contention that if you're in the middle of the road, you'll soon be road kill.
And Salon says we're insane? Mygosh, they're as mean to us as McCain is. I say.....since "sane" is destroying the US, GO FOR IT !!! I want their idea of insane running the show!
Extremist authoritarians - like ordering everyone to contract with an insurance company or else?
Democrats are swine. Authoritarian lying swine.
Let's try to figure out who "they" really are:
First possibility: Republicans create a budget, they pass it. They say: this budget will fund the whole government, everything stays open, and we all go about our normal business, the only real change is that we won't find Planned Parenthood.
Second possibility: President Obama whips out his big Veto pen and kills that budget. He shuts down the government. Everything comes to a screeching halt -- because killing babies is THAT important to President Obama.
They want to blow up the government and remake America according to their own radical ideology.
It's easy to see who's really doing this.
What government?
It's all cronies out for themselves.
Yep. Constitutional conservatives are “extremist” while bomb making murderers are in the mainstream of the Democrat Party.
Trouble in your enemy’s tent is always great news.
Boy, you're wrong about that one, Ms.salon author.
