Thank you. I think I'll have to mosey on in there.;)
Things on the right have been building for a long time just as things built on the left for the decade prior to Watergate. The left was profoundly changed and never returned to its former ideas. The same is true on the right. The transformation means that conservatism will not be restored in a form which it was known. Creative destruction.

Either red has never read Atlas Shrugged or he lacks the comprehension skills necessary to understand that it is a work of fiction. Much like the climate change blogs he is always quoting.

The next time the tea baggers hold up their "I am John Galt" or Ayn Rand signs, maybe they can also show pictures of William Edward Hickman the prototype for Galt and the "hero" of Rand. They could also have a picture of the 12 year old girl Hickman murdered and dismembered and spread over a city.

Not caring about your fellow man doesn't make you a hero, it makes you a zero. Modern US conservatism is based on selfishness and greed, there's nothing admirable or heroic about it. The "guiding light" is a sociopath named Ayn Rand who looked on the rest of us as insects, not because we ar but because she lacked a trait basic to most people, a conscience.

Makes you wonder what the Republican Vice Presidential candidate for 2012 thinks about child killers. He claims that Ayn Rand's books are the reason he got into politics, the prototype hero figure from her books is based on a serial killer who murdered a young girl and left parts of her body all over town. Rand condemned the people in the jury who's responsibility it was to stand up for the child who'd had her life so brutally ended, Rand saw the killer, William Edward Hickman as some sort of superman in the Friedrich Nietzsche mold. If all she really respected was the killer instinct devoid of emotion, which is what a sociopath essentially is and Paul Ryan finds that kind of mindless garbage inspiring, then what kind of president would he make.

Paul Ryan isn't the only one who seems to lack some of the basic qualities that make most of us human, Dick Cheney did everything he could to start one of the most costly wars in American history so he and his buddies at Halliburton and other Republican affiliated companies could get rich, classic sociopathic behaviour. And they tend to be physical cowards also, Al Gore who the foaming at the mouth fanatics in the far right love to hate actually went to war when his nation called, Dick Cheney got five draft deferments and never served in combat or anywhere near a war zone. It certainly didn't keep him from sending thousands of Americans to their deaths or permanent disability while impoverishing the nation. It was only four years ago that he and the shrub were doing the nasty to America.

It's pretty clear that Republicans could care less about the common good in America, the shift in wealth from the many to the few has been most rapid under them and the violence always ramps up under a Republican administration. They do **** all to protect the nation, if you go through this site you can see they should have known 911 was coming, but the shrub was on his 9th vacation in 8 months in office and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to anything that might actually help people:

911Timeline.net - The Most Comprehensive Minute By Minute Timeline On 911 by Mark R. Elsis

And after that attack they used it as an excuse to turn the US into a police state, torture and illegally detain thousands of people and start their endless and highly profitable wars.

It really is the party of sociopaths.

Keep the hate flowing, Are Are, it will make you feel better.

- Walter ... Doesn't the ignorance, hypocrisy and bile reach monumental proportions when the losers, leeches, liars and loons of the left gather and indulge in a circle jerk (accent on the jerk) against all those to the right of Leon Trotsky?

- In this case, these clowns are labelling the GOP and its leader (a man who has spent ten to twenty hours a week for all of his adult life as well as millions of his own dollars over the years in selfless acts of service to those less fortunate and in distress) as sociopathic.

- Their ignorance in this regard is disdainful but it actually becomes hilarious when one contemplates the checkered and falsified and self serving background of their hero Barack Obama who is the one possible sociopath in the presidential race and who has proved that in Chicago at least glib BS and ruthless opportunism trumps brains and achievement.

- You are wise to keep your comments brief.

- As for me, I simply choose to ignore these morons most of the time.

- Nohil Illegitimus Carborundum, Walter.

Some of these creeps are into little boys:

Mark Foley congressional page incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mark Foley scandal, which broke in late September 2006, centers on soliciting e-mails and sexually suggestive instant messages sent by Mark Foley, a Republican Congressman from Florida, to teenaged boys who had formerly served as congressional pages. Investigation was closed by the FDLE on September 19, 2008 citing insufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges as both "Congress and Mr. Foley denied us access to critical data", said FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey.[1] The scandal grew to encompass the response of Republican congressional leaders to previous complaints about Foley's contacts with the pages and inconsistencies in the leaders' public statements.[2][3][4][5][6] There were also allegations that a second Republican Congressman, Jim Kolbe, had improper conduct with at least two youths, a 16-year old page and a recently graduated page.[7][8]

Gay bashing while being closet homosexuals:

Larry Craig scandal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Larry Craig scandal was an incident that began on June 11, 2007, with the arrest of Larry Craig—who at the time was a Senator from Idaho—for lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Craig later entered a guilty plea to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct on August 8.[1] As a result of the controversy surrounding his arrest, subsequent guilty plea, and pressure from his fellow Republicans,[2][3][4] Senator Craig announced his intention to resign from the Senate at a news conference on September 1, which was to become effective on September 30. After failing to withdraw his guilty plea, on October 4, Craig released a statement refusing to resign as senator for Idaho.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Allen_(Florida_politician)

He made headlines in 2007 after being arrested for offering $20 for the opportunity to perform fellatio on an undercover male police officer[1] in the restroom of a public park and was released on bail. Since the time of his arrest, Allen has maintained his innocence, stating that he believed the undercover police officer was trying to rob him, and that he only offered to perform oral sex because he felt intimidated by the black and muscular police officer.[2][3] Allen was convicted on November 9, 2007, and sentenced to six months' probation, and was fined $250.[4] He resigned from the Florida House of Representatives on November 16, 2007.

The party of "family values" seems to be full of deviants.

And crooks:

Tom DeLay, former U.S. House leader, sentenced to 3 years in prison

AUSTIN - Former House majority leader Tom DeLay, the brash Texan who helped build and tightly control a Republican majority in his chamber until resigning in 2005, was sentenced by a state judge on Monday to three years in prison for illegally plotting to funnel corporate contributions to Texas legislative candidates.

State Senior Judge Pat Priest, citing the need for those who write the laws to "be bound by them," rejected DeLay's impassioned argument that he was the victim of political persecution and was improperly accused of breaking the law for doing what "everybody was doing."

Like your typical sociopath Delay tried to balme his actions on someone else, the judge didn't buy it.

I used to really admire this guy:

Cunningham scandal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Too bad he turned out to be such a crook also.

The Cunningham scandal is a U.S. political scandal in which defense contractors paid bribes to members of Congress and officials in the U.S. Defense Department, in return for political favors in the form of federal contracts. Most notable amongst the recipients of the bribes was California Congressman Duke Cunningham who pled guilty to receiving over $2.3 million in bribes. The primary defense contractors were Mitchell Wade (owner of MZM) and Brent R. Wilkes (owner of ADCS Inc.).

And another Republican crook:

Jack Abramoff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

College Republican National Chairman
After graduating from Brandeis, Abramoff ran for election as chairman of the College Republican National Committee (CRNC). After a campaign which cost over $10,000 and was managed by Grover Norquist, Abramoff won the election after the chief competitor, Amy Moritz (who later, as Amy Ridenour, became a founding director of the National Center for Public Policy Research, and was involved in several trips funded by Jack Abramoff), was persuaded to drop out. Abramoff "changed the direction of the committee and made it more activist and conservative than ever before," notes the CRNC. "It is not our job to seek peaceful coexistence with the Left", Abramoff was quoted as saying in the group's 1983 annual report. "Our job is to remove them from power permanently."[14]
Norquist served as executive director of the committee under Abramoff. He later recruited Ralph Reed, a former president of the University of Georgia College Republicans chapter, as an unpaid intern. According to Reed's book Active Faith, Reed also introduced Abramoff to his future wife, Pam Alexander.

Jack Abramoff was a highly influential figure as lobbyist and activist in the Bush administration.[54] In 2001, Abramoff was a member of the Bush administration's 2001 Transition Advisory Team assigned to the Department of the Interior.[55] Abramoff befriended the incoming Deputy Secretary of the Interior J. Steven Griles.
The draft report of the House Government Reform Committee said the documents — largely Abramoff's billing records and e-mails — listed 485 lobbying contacts with White House officials over three years, including 10 with top Bush aide Karl Rove. The report said that of the 485 contacts listed, 345 were described as meetings or other in-person contacts; 71 were described as phone conversations and 69 were e-mail exchanges.[56]

House Majority leader, former Vietnam hero, former College Republican National Chairman, corruption and larceny seem pretty endemic to the Republican Party, what was that about family values again?

Is it any wonder they left the nation in ruins.
