In fact, just the opposite is true: by rallying to insist that a heretofore largely ineffectual establishment GOP wake up in time to stop Obama’s disastrous policy stewardship of the US, crazy nutbag wingnut teabaggers like me are hoping to preserve what’s left of a constitutional republic, wherein we as individuals are granted natural rights, not “managed” rights based on the whims of a liberal fascist President and select bureaucrats

[Feel free to ignore this post if you aren’t at all interested in the subject matter] Just received the following email regarding Libertarian congressional candidate and erstwhile hypnotist/fitness trainer/human rights investigator/polymath/scientific wrestling expert Jake Shannon:

It’s been mentioned before, but something to watch as a gauge of how seriously the GOP establishment took the message sent them by the Tea Party earlier this month is to whom they give the Chairmanship of the House Energy & Commerce Committee.

I think as a presidential candidate, Chris Christie would make a great NJ governor. Not that he’s planning on running for another office anytime soon.

Why draw back amid public outrage when you can just double down: “[Terrorists] are going to continue to probe the system and try to find a way through,” Napolitano said in an interview that aired Monday night on “Charlie Rose.” “I think the tighter we get on aviation, we have to also be thinking now about going on to mass transit or to trains or maritime.

So far, the hands-down winner is: “No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will

Who needs elections once you’ve built and empowered unelected (mostly left-leaning and politicized) bureaucracies who function entirely, it seems, to increase their own reach and power? Rhetorical question. No need to speculate if you don’t want to. This is not the America I knew.
