This is how I see it. The political scale cannot be accurately represented as a line. It's more of a circle. Starting from the bottom, you can go left or right. But once you eek upward past the "zone of idiocy" you're both insane. The top is inhabited by equally insane, equally violent, equally Marxist, equally fascist liberals and republicans. These, for some reason, are the people that get the most coverage and attention, and they grow louder as a result. I don't blame people for seeing it or disagreeing with it, but I blame people for giving it exposure and giving rise to it's appeal. This is exactly what is happening. The one time, in my lifetime anyway, that we as conservatives could have put a constitutionally principled man in charge of our country, slipped right through our fingers. And all it took was a man to come along at the right time, or the worst depending on how you view it, and spew a WWE style rhetoric, and people have ate it up without any thought to what this carnival barker has stood for his entire life before the last 9 months. Today is truly a sad day for our nation.
