Obama seeks "annihilation" of Republicans?

The Republican party has been in slow self-annihilation for years. It has hasn't its self-destruction by embracing the bigotry and delusion of the tea party.

As your other article shows, the former-GOP has taken to trying to cheat its way into election wins. That says a lot about the state of the party.

But it's okay of they do it to themselves. That way, they can deny it's even happening.

Will they ever get those blinders off?

This clip of Jon Stewart shows just how pathologically dishonest the Republican party has become.

Wouldn't want to get into an argument with Jon Stewart!

The Republican Party needs no help from the president to crash and burn--they are quite capable of that all on their own.

Their only chance for recovery should begin with the disposal of the useless old tea-bags,

and then get rid of that angry dwarf in the Senate, the so-called "hero" that folded, John McCain!

The Republican response to the inaugural address is a great example of politics as usual. The technique? Assume Obama wants to destroy the GOP. Then look at the text of the speech for statements that might possibly be construed as evidence for the assumption when presented out of context or with some "explanatory" text. It's not exactly novel.

But this still assumes republicans are fundamentally sane. I claim it's not the case. Nothing about their party rises terribly above delusional disorder.

One difference between black people and white people in America historically, is that white people have always had the luxury to call the white community's ideas simply "conservative" or something supposedly serious.

It has only been since the election of this black president that our society at large has been forced to see the madness--both the fact of it and its scope---that black people have known was there in much of white America even post Civil Rights. The Tea Party white didn't hatch from an egg yesterday. These people have jobs and houses and move about society and black people have been putting up with them long before they stepped out and declared identities as we officially now know. Women have been putting up with stupid men like Todd Atkin in the workplace for decades. I mean think about that. Every crazy republican, and crazy blog and crazy pundit and crazy math doer on FOX guaranteeing magical math outcomes like Romney's victory---all these neurotics have been exactly this way all the time, and before FOX News for the record. These are not mentally healthy people with different political ideas from mine. These are people who are fundamentally not sane. They are sick. People with delusional disorder can cook, hold jobs, tie their shoelaces, drive, paint a house and seem "functional" just like serial killers and child molesters, but they are actually crazy. It's time to call them that.

I agree. There's genuine pathology here, and it's no longer amusing.

Thank you, Margaret. I'm trying to learn to be beautifully succinct like that: "There's genuine pathology here, and it's no longer amusing."
