"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead (Mostly what other say will be in italics, what I say will not. There will be occasions when this is messed up or forgotten, but generally it will true- for those keeping track of the opining vs the reporting!)

Republicans are not conservative: They are Radical Fundamentalists
I've said repeatedly that the Tea Party IS the American Taliban. Since they've basically co-opted the mainstream of the Repugs, they've changed it from a conservative but fundamentally good-hearted party into a force for the evil that is radical fundamentalism, in the name of whatever religion. Christians do not kill people, but radical Republicans (feel like I'm back in the 1860s...) kill abortionists and blow up clinics. Christians do not hate, but radical conservatives blow up federal courthouses. Christians preach peach, but radical Republicans fly planes into buildings... oh wait, that was their cousins-in-hate. Christians preach peace, but radical Republicans think the answer to everything in foreign policy is bombing and "boots on the ground' (hopefully, after the bombing has stopped!) The current GOP is a giant tumor on the body politic of America. We will not be well again until that tumor has been shrunk or excised.
(If you hadn't noticed, I'm really enjoying these 'classic' Kos posts) :)
