Blessed are the warmakers: for they shall be called the children of Bush.

Not a day goes by that the Republican party fails to provide more evidence to the argument that the theory of evolution may be overly optimistic.

What is the greater threat to our nation:

A) The birth certificate of Barack Obama.

B) The collective average IQ of people who actually spend time watching Lou Dobbs.

Hiking?

For the sake of the people of South Carolina, I hope the Governor just keeps on walking.

... any country that would allow George W. Bush to occupy the White House for eight years, is a country that probably deserves a GOP healthcare plan.

Beck is perhaps mentally disturbed, but he certainly knows his audience.

If we look at the relationship Beck, Limbaugh, etc., have with their faithful audience, you eventually will need to question what it is that these people get from all of this hatred.

We know the price of hatred - it eats you alive, from the inside out, devouring ones soul, turning ones life into a living hell.

But reasonable thinking would eventually lead to the question of what is the payoff of choosing to make hate a centerpiece of ones life?

It seems obvious there must be some sort of payoff. No one would put this much energy into something that wasn't providing a substantial return. What is the payoff?

Perhaps the payoff is the "high."

The people we are discussing are liquored up on hate - they crave it like a drug addict - couldn't live without it - it makes them high.

The people who are involved in this kind of obsessive hatred seem to believe they are serving some great cause, feeling that there lives have a noble purpose, sacrificing themselves in their righteous sacrifice to save humanity... from the evil ones.

These poor pathetic people believe they have found personal meaning in their hatreds. Hatred is their vocation - their calling - their religion - their identity. It makes them feel important, like they have a mission or purpose for living.

Beck, Limbaugh, Savage, and the rest, know how their people crave hatred, and they feed it to them like slopping the hogs.

Fear is not the issue - it is the tactic, trick, or con.

The real issue is ignorance - a resource the American public provides in abundance.

If the GOP can gather themselves and figure out some new shiny way to exploit the goldmine of America's ignorance, they will be back in business in no time.

They've already got the formula - they just need to find a new package.

Hate has always been a profitable business in the human market. It gets the small and angry all liquored up with self-righteous, self-aggrandizing purpose.

In the spirit of bipartisan compromise I suggest the following:

The Democratic Party will change their name to the Democratic Socialist Party, so long as the GOP will agree to have the King James Version of the Holy Bible amended, to state that "On the eight day God went back to work, and created monkeys... because he was disappointed in Republicans."

Don't buy the chest-puffing bellicosity from the Texas Governor.

The real motivation for the Texas secessionist movement is that they want to form their own professional football league - the folks in Texas have realized that is the only way the Cowboys will ever be able to win another championship.

I think the Walmart-Lincoln connection is possible, but far from necessary. I believe the more critical factor is "D-Ark." If you've never lived in the South, it would be difficult to appreciate the fervor of this region's hatred for unions.

Okay, here's a compromise.

Let the creationists into our science classes... as soon as they allow evolution to be taught in their Sunday Schools.

After eight long years of intense research, I am on the verge of releasing new information that will clarify at least part of the Creationist view.

My basic discovery is that God created monkeys because he was disappointed in Republicans.

Don't scoff. It could explain a great deal of recent history.

McCain has a long history in politics, and some of his unpleasant characteristics, such as grudge holding, have a shown up in his behavior with alarming consistency.

Here's something you all should have read before the election - from the alternative press in Phoenix that has followed his entire AZ political career...

Read these stories and you will see that the man's had a lot of practice at being a jerk, with a long list of targets going at least all the way back to Annapolis.

Rather than attempting to "figure out what they're for" I suspect the Republican Party is more likely attempting to figure out a new way to lie about what they are.

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards the Weekly Standard to be reborn?

He will never be held accountable for any part of it.
