Cliven Bundy is a Powder Keg, Will The GOP Light the Fuse?

http://bluevirginia.us/diary/11469/cliven-bundy-is-powder-keg-will-the-gop-light-the-fuse

The ideology that the federal government is not legitimate and that their vote has been stolen from them is the powder keg. A Republican Party so irresponsible that it encourages such rhetoric is all it takes to light the fuse among the tea party faithful and turn them into sovereign citizens. So my question and my challenge to Republicans is this. Despite our real political differences, can we lose the fiery anti-government rhetoric and engage in reasonable dialogue and damp down the fear, loathing and paranoia at your margins?

The GOP isn't interested in "debates," or "bi-partisanship." That's for suckers, I mean Democrats. blkmusclmachine Apr 2014 #1

This should be considered treason. Those supporting armed revolution should be investigated, arrested, and if convicted jailed or executed.

This is also the definition of insanity. When people point loaded weapons at Federal law enforcement they exhibit a "immediate threat to themselves and others"
