I think the real tyrants are in Congress and on the USSC. (not to mention the teabaggers and their Koch owners themselves)

How he has managed that after six years of dealing with all the crap that has been thrown at him is beyond me.

the concept of "freedom" period--not forcing your beliefs on others, and allowing others to believe as they will and do what they want with their private lives. But somehow, the GOP has misinterpreted the term over the past few decades to mean something totally different.

The sickness of the gop is astounding. The madness of crowds. The banality of evil. (Remind me to get that book...I've been wanting to read it for years.)

They project their hate onto others, scapegoat, are remorseless and they're pathological liars, they're completely opaque to their own loathesome behavior, and in fact claim to be superior to all others.

Classic Anti-Social and Narcissistic Personality Disorders. Those traits shown by a large population = Fascist.

I sometimes get puzzled over whether the politicians and talking-heads themselves are liars or are ignorant. For example, there's Limbaugh and Rick Perry who routinely say stuff that one would argue is off-the-wall, but they get paid a bunch of money for pushing that agenda. At the same time, Hannity has been suggesting that the saner RWers get purged from the party following what happened in MS.

And I don't know if I could even say they're just lying for the money.

I think those who lead the rw charge are truly personality disordered. They lie, cheat, hate, stir up violence, and bask in the attention. The idiots that eat it up are weak-minded, selfish clouds, and probably have other "issues". Many rw individuals I've known have serious cognitive disturbances.

Conservatives as a group, compared to Liberals, have been shown to have lower intelligence and more rigid thinking patterns, difficulty with abstract thought, and other stuff I can't think of right now.

McCain would already be hiding in his bunker after launching the missiles at his old Cold War foe. Thankfully we have a POTUS that THINKS!
