Can the GOP Get Any More Weasel-like Than They Are Today

One-Note Party: To Get Obama Anyway Possible
(All together now: One-and-ah-Two-and-ah...)

Current Classic Example

This latest GOP AGM (Anti-Government Movement), and name I just made up, is very concerning and it should be to everyone... our future as a country,I think, is at stake, and for the record: I am not one to cry wolf of subscribe to any wild-ass conspiracy of any kind, period. As Jack Webb from the old Dragnet TV show fame used to say: “Just the facts, ma'am…”

Watch the first 7 minutes of this segment and see exactly what I mean ... it is chilling. The best way to label this is call it for what it is:  A New Nihilism That Threatens GOP’s Growth and the Country's Mental Stability (article from here).

One of several definitions of Nihilism that fits here is: “... the belief that a society's political and social institutions are so bad that they should be destroyed anyway possible, even at the barrel of a gun or by any other violent  means ... while calling it justified…”) – the Bundy ranch standoff is a classic recent example.

Then on top of all that we see the GOP right worshiping at this guy’s alter. Why I honestly ask, why indeed??

That story: Conservative writer and so-called “Obama documentary film” producer, Dinesh D'Souza, has pleaded guilty to charges that he asked two associates to donate $10,000 to the Senate campaign of New York Republican Wendy Long, then illegally reimbursed them.

D'Souza has also agreed not to contest any prison term between 10 and 16 months, though he won't be sentenced until Sept. 23, and it sounds like he's still hoping to avoid jail time.

His attorney, Benjamin Brafman, said in a statement immediately after the plea that he was hopeful that the judge “… will recognize Mr. D'Souza to be a fundamentally honorable man who should not be imprisoned for what was an isolated instance of wrongdoing in an otherwise productive life.” 

Oh boy …
