The central Republican message of the Obama era is that these are, at least potentially, the end times. Polls show that a significant percentage of the GOP's base believes fairly out-there stuff about the world we live in.
President Obama himself may well be a foreign-born Manchurian candidate, hell-bent on destroying the American capitalist way of life. Or so the far Right would have you believe.
But even mainstream conservatives espouse a remarkable range of ideas about the fiscal cliff that we are perched upon as the Federal deficit surges, with some claiming that we are close to a Greece-style meltdown.
The problem with this narrative is that it remains, so far, a kind of populist sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Republicans may well ride a wave of anxiety to political victory in 2012, but so far they have offered no ideas that would actually pull the nation back from the brink.

Dear Author: Remove your head from your Master's rectum and you might see them.
The GOP moved to cut a measly $38B and Obama and the Left freaked out. "Draconian! Heartless! You're throwing granny in the snow!"
And then the Left follows up with the complaint that the GOP hasn't offered ideas on how to pull us back from the brink.
Here's a thought: Freeze the debt ceiling.
If the Left wants us to get in the game in a serious way, I say we do it.
Thanks for the chuckle. This is a good way to start the day.
The pot will soon come to a rolling boil. Buckle up.
No, but real conservatives have.
And, of course, it almost goes without saying that it is amazingly hypocritical for liberals to be saying so.
One interesting note, have you noticed that the MSM has all but given up praising Harry Reid, Obama, etc and is now devoting all their effort to attacking conservatives as no better than the Democrats.
But the left is right on in their belief in global warming, climate change, climate interruption, the war on poverty, and the joys of diversity!
Give me a phakin' break!
I’ve mostly posted that here because Brian wants to send a message to the “GOP”. Just helping him get the word out, since not many “GOP” types are going to see it there.
Not Yours to Give - The story of David Crockett and Horatio Bunce
It may not be easy, but it's simple. And it's morally right.
"There are no easy answers but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right."-- Ronald Reagan
We seek to restore the intended balance between the three separate branches of our government, and to strictly limit government to the Enumerated Powers granted and expressed by the will of the people of the United States in our Constitution.
All existing functions of the Executive branch that are outside of those Enumerated Powers must be eliminated.
All spending and regulation by the Legislative branch that lies outside the Enumerated Powers must cease.
Judges who attempt to legislate from the bench, or who abandon the clear principles of our Constitution, must be checked if liberty and justice are to prevail in our society once again.
We demand a return to adherence to the provisions of the Tenth Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Exactly! If they want to show they’re serious, they should defund Obamacare, the EPA, any Federal interference in Education, and give NO money to the UN.
Or to NPR...
How “series” would THAT be to the snarky author...
