at home with the suicide bombers

[sheshe2]

The fact is that the Republicans have gone through the looking glass. They are no longer in the same reality the rest of us inhabit.

I’m not one given to hyperbole.

My boldest prediction has been that by their actions, by their brazenness, this iteration of the GOP is consigning itself to history’s dustbin, with which some people disagree.

But we have reached a point not faced by this Republic since the seven states of the Old Confederacy abjured their allegiance to the Constitution.

We have been mocking the hardliners among the House GOP as the “suicide caucus”. We’ve smugly assured ourselves that by their actions during the government shutdown they are dooming their party’s electoral chances for the foreseeable future.

But it has gone beyond a “suicide caucus”. It can now be accurately called a “suicide bomber caucus”.

It no longer merely wants to achieve a political victory. It wants to upturn our entire system of Constitutional government.

The rest~
