Right wingers on the warpath!

I spent some time cruising through the facebook pages of some Tea Pary whack jobs and really these people are insane. One of them, I won't name names, has as his primary focus the salvation and preservation of the "traditional" family and his FB photo is of him, his wife and their brood of six kids. It's quite unsetttling. The whole pack of them has a slightly deranged and very upsetting look of certainty and determination and, I hesitate to say it but, well, stupidity. There I said it. I've looked at enough photos of lower level Nazi functionaries and their families to feel a chill of recognition when I see a picture like this one. That ugly look in the eye of a long held social grudge made triuimphant through some political position which then makes the grudge holder The One Who Now Calls the Shots. This is the Limbaugh/Hannity/Beck bunch full of righteous indignation and savage certainty and they are out to get revenge for all the little slights they have endured and they have blood in the mouth and a hard heart. And they are all getting together to bully their way into power, but whether they will succeed or whether they are the last dying cry of a discredited world view, only time will tell.
