He sees everyone that disagrees with him as an enemy and that makes him extremely dangerous. The biggest damage the GOP has created to this society the last 20 yrs. is the way it disgracefully posed itself in relation to Pres. Clinton and then Pres. Obama. We used to have the notion of a loyal opposition in this country. Now only the Dems. play this roll. The GOP have now pitted themselves against their political foes as if we are all enemies to be dealt with as such. This is the first step towards Civil War.

I could not possibly agree with you more. This whole thing started with the miscreant Newt Gingrich, he really shit all over the country, reckless egomaniac that he is. This is his legacy.

That they increasingly don't see this reflects the dominate influence of the "Southern wing" of that party amazes me. Look at how Rick Perry was posturing a few ago to take Texas out of the Union as an example of the return of secessionist ideas into the nations conversation. It's crybaby crap. If I can't get my way I'll leave. Let em leave this time around good friggin riddance. They IMO hold us down, let them leave already. I'm sick of the whole bunch.

I could not possibly agree with you more on this point as well! I've been saying this for years and years, lots of my friends have as well. Two state solution - Red America, and America - go, have fun, go nuts, abolish everything, deport everybody. Then you know what - when the South starts cooking even more as global warming will increase the humidity and 100 degree temp days down south, then hit em with obscenely hard immigration rules to get up to the cooler profitable North. Have purity tests, literacy tests, and on and on, don't pass, to bad, you can fry in Mississippi and Alabama.
