The United States is a two party government. I wish we had more parties. But we have the Democrats and the Republicans.
When one party is taken over by crazy people what in the hell are we to do?
It happens to the Republicans from time to time.
What is it about the Republican thinking that leaves them open to the crazy flu?
Communism is one thing. I can remember when I was a kid the Republicans were crazy. They called President Truman a Communist! They called the government of the United States Communist! Everyone was a Communist. Hell, I looked under my bed at night before I went to bed to check and see if there was evil monkey Communist under my bed. (I should have checked my closet for the evil monkey.)
We know the truth is that you would have had better luck at finding a lottery ticket than finding a Communist. But the Republicans used the fear of Communism to get elected and to set up the black list and lots of other evils.
Now the Republicans are crazy again.
There does not seem to be anyone that can stand up and bring sanity to the party. It has to be a Republican. A Democrat can not point out that they are sick.
Back when I was young the GOP was off on the wrong course and William F. Buckley, a conservative author, had the standing and the power to point out that the right had gone to far and that put an end, mostly, to the crazies.
The GOP came back to being a loyal opposition party.
But now there is no William F. Buckley. Fox News and right wing hate radio seems to fan the flames and push and drive everyone to be crazy and irresponsible. The more crazy and irresponsible you are the more the far right loves you.
This is not good for the nation.
Where’s the outrage over Republican’s Communist’ claim?
