Since when did the GOP and right wing become the anti-authority party? I remember in my 20's, the GOP was the "Law and Order" party. Yes sir-eee, they were the party of law, order, manners, men in uniform, and they'd be damned if some pot smokin', cop hating hippies would ever run this glorious country.
They were the party that loved the military. That held cops in high esteem. That believed our public schools were a place of discipline and order. They were the party that believed in social standards. And order. And if you grew up without it, the school, or the mayor, or the sheriff, or your football coach, or your neighbor would give you what your daddy was too scared to: Discipline and some manners.
WHERE IN THE HELL DID THAT GOP GO????? Its turned into a bunch of radical, government hating rednecks who are talking about building survivalist fortresses in Idaho, who are bashing teachers, cops, firemen, and saying public schools are the work of the devil hahaha!!!!
The anti-government antics of the 60's radicals, that the GOP used to look down on, are now the norm for the right wing, with the far right beginning to look more and more like the anti-govt 60's radicals by the day.
I dont know when this anti-government shift in the GOP happened. Some say it was on or around....say....01/20/2009. I dont know. But it is sad, scary, and yes, dangerous.
Gee, a retrospect from a leftie who's last cognizant memory was 1985. I am old enough to remember when lefties spit on members of the Military and called Police officers,"pigs". The democrat party hasn't matured much further than it's mid century segregationist days or it's flirtation with anarchy with Bill Ayers and his terrorist wife treated like folk heroes. Put the freaking attorney general in jail if you lefties want to show that your gun control issues are legitimate and not just political theater. Call for the trial and capital punishment for Major Nidal, the terrorist jihad monster who shot and killed 13 of his own men and left 30 other Soldiers wounded.
Anarchists unite! We'll organize resistance to organization!!!!!!!!!
