They began this pattern during the Clinton 90s, demanding his impeachment, coming up with all sorts of assasination theories, and opposing any military actions during his term.
Now it's taken on an additional racial tone, in that we happen to have a president who isn't pure lily white. They want revolution and secession now. The rethugs have really demonstrated to the rest of the world how uncivil a society we're capable of being, how racially charged our society is, and how opposed to human rights that one of our major national parties is.
There is no doubt now. It has become apparent to all the world that a large segment of our citizens, particularly white males, feel absolutely entitled to everything of value this nation produces. They don't want to share, and now some of them are willing to destroy it all to keep from having to share it. If they can't maintain complete dominance, then they don't want to play the game anymore.
