What is the world coming to? Or is it just some on the Right finally "coming to" after a few years of delirium?

Talk about taking a genius to state the obvious ... Right wing Conservative, John Cole is shrill:

"Seriously - what does the current Republican party stand for? Permanent war, fear, the nanny state, big spending, torture, execution on demand, complete paranoia regarding the media, control over your body, denial of evolution and outright rejection of science … Hillarycare doesn’t scare me as much as Frank Gaffney having a line to the person with the nuclear football or Dobson and company crafting domestic policy."

"That is why the Republican party is in shambles. The majority of us have decided that the movers and shakers in the GOP and the blogospheric right are certified lunatics who, in a decent and sane society, we would have in controlled environments in rocking chairs under shade trees for most of the day, wheeled in at night for tapioca pudding and some karaoke."

My comment: Is it possible that a couple people on the right are starting to come to their senses? Last night I see a piece by George Will telling the Values Voters to grow up. This morning its John Cole suggesting that Right wing anathema Hilary isn't as scary as Gaffney and Dobson. Earlier, polls show that 65%+ of Republicans are starting to believe "Free Trade" ain't what it's cracked up to be and 32% think it's a good idea to start taxing the rich to help pay for much needed universal health care ... a thought that borders on ... OMG!!! ... SOCIALISM!!! What ever is the world coming to?

And I find myself agreeing with Cole! Dobson and Gaffney and company ARE scary!

The world is turning up-side-down!!!

There are a bunch of people out that who've believed from the word "HELLO!!!" that:

  • Gaffney and Dobson and their ilk are very scary people
  • That Free Trade has a big down side for this country
  • That Universal Health Care should be an important priority here in the richest country on the planet
  • That Values Voters had their heads up their behinds
  • That a progressive tax has merit, where those who MAKE the most OWE this country the most for the opportunity to be wildly successful ... financially ...

They're called Liberals or Progressives ... but most often labeled Marxists and Socialists by Right Wing-nuts who see anyone to the left of Attila the Hun as some kind of Commie sympathizer.
