The Age of Republican Extremism is Not Over"

Hell No, it isn't over and it won't be until there is accountability with a capital "A."

Authoritarianism has always been a dirty word in my vocabulary. It should be in anyone's vocabulary, who believes in our Constutution and the Bill of Rights.

People like the ones holding power at the moment and their jack-booted pals who are not in government at the moment, do not simply go away when they are voted out of power. They hang out on K-street and in various think-tanks, plotting and planning their next coup.

Thing is, these people know that they will never win another election, if they tell the truth about their agendas who they really are, and do not cheat like hell in every election.

Expose them and hold them accountable.!

It's the only way to get rid of them for the next few generations, or until people forget again.


The Progressive Daily Beacon: "The Age of Republican Extremism is Not Over":

The age of Republican neo-fascism, neo-theocracy, and neo-conservatism or to use an appropriate catchall label, 'Neo-Insanity,' is not over. Indeed, the Republican Party's march to the extreme fringes of the radical right has only just begun and it is going to get a whole lot crazier before it gets better. The exponential escalation of 'crazy' is the only way extremist movements like today's Republican Party can keep their followers interested, engaged, and simmering on the verge of rage.

It isn't by accident that Newt Gingrich has suddenly championed the anti-American concept of censoring the internet and limiting free speech. They weren't joking when the neo-theocratic-wing of the Republican Party suggested that, perhaps, gay people should wear armbands denoting their sexual preference. There isn't a smirk on any Republicans' faces when they say the so-called 'war on terror' has morphed into a 'Third World War.' And the jackboots in the GOP, those who are championing the absurd idea that school teachers should be armed, are deadly serious.

Censorship, limiting free speech, Nazi-like Star of David armbands for gay people, a world at war, and sending our children into schools with authoritarian figures armed to the teeth - kind of makes Terry Schiavo and warrantless wiretapping seem almost benign. But it does highlight the way in which extremism escalates - how, in order to survive and thrive, it must become increasingly radicalized.
