Republicans are lying, manipulative, power mad hucksters..??...!!!!

Bracing myself, steady now....,deep breaths... OK.... almost fainted.

I see Peter (unverified) chimed in up thread.

If you're confused by Peter's fairy tales this comment will help you sort things out. It will give you a new mental map upon which to fix your own position so that you can better direct your attention in some detail to the vast and irreparable calamity brought upon us by him. I realize that some of you may not know the particular background details of the events I'm referring to. I'm not going to go into those details here, but you can read up on them elsewhere.

If Peter were as bright as he thinks he is, he'd know that there is no running from it. There is no escape. All we can do is turn Peter's temeritous, rummy arguments to our advantage and hope that an increasing number of people will then see that I suggest that we break the mold and stray from the path of conventional wisdom.

Peter's obsequious followers and minion are engaged in perpetual one-upmanship over who more deeply enjoys Peter 's line of bullshit. These are the sorts of people who don't care about the fact that Peter wants to leave behind a wake of heinous reaction. Who does he think he is?

The fact of the matter is that the caricature that often passes today for a critique of his complaints assumes that the poor, innocent, kitten-loving members of his RWNJ of doolally Huns are persecuted by people like you and me. This caricature is horse crap.

The reality is that you may find it instructive to contrast the things I like with the things that Peter likes. I like listening to music. Peter likes degrading, dividing people and destroying the fabric of our nation. I like kittens and puppies. Peter likes the investor class who are siphoning off scarce international capital intended for underdeveloped countries. I like spending time with friends. He likes threatening anyone who's bold enough to state that his reckless apothegms are in full flower, and their poisonous petals of Mohockism are blooming all around us.

Peter exhibits what happens when a healthy skepticism about political affairs gives way to a debilitating parasitism. Knowing, as they say, is half the battle. What remains is to take the mechanisms, language, ideology, and phraseology for determining what is right and what is wrong out of the hands of individuals such as Peter and his fellow Baboons and put them back in the hands of ordinary, rational people. It may seem difficult to do that. It is.

In conclusion: Peter is extraordinarily brazen. We've all known that for a long time. However, his willingness to create widespread psychological suffering sets a new record for brazenness.
