And, humanity’s response so far will render all of this other stuff moot relatively soon.

...and nobody hears it.

Does it make a sound?

That seems to be where climate change is at this time, in my opinion.

They offer no solutions to any problems. They can only offer blame and grievance.

Yet, they have been able to hoodwink enough of the population to gain control of almost everything in America. They appeal to the greed in people by offering taxcuts.

Those that vote for them do not realize that they will soon have no schools and no roads. They will have nothing worth defending.

As of today and future, they are on the top of the list of danger to the world. They are also against Global Warming besides other things.

Listen to or read the words and phrases they use and think back on the last 50+ years of Republican actions.

War on Drugs

War on Terror

Their war on women

Their war on children

Their war on democracy

and then think about this little tidbit that escaped most folks notice...CPAC having it's yearly convention in Hungary and not the US.

Hungary, a fine upstanding christo-fascist country ruled, not governed, by oligarchs-rich, wealthy business leaders/CEOs. Speak out against the Hungarian leader and you disappear. Its no wonder billionaire George Soros won't live in the country of his birth even while he has used 64% of his own personal wealth in support of transparent democracy around the world. But since Mr Soros is of Jewish decent and not a practicing member of the Jewish faith...well you can more readily understand the rights problems and issues with Mr Soros.

Have the Reptilicans take us too far for us to ever have a sane and safe society again? Have we gone over the edge and our nation is doomed? Is our collective goose well and truly cooked?

No, no, no! We need a STRONG Republican party! Get with the program!

Waitaminit! They seem pretty damn strong while still in the minority! I'd go so far as to say they LOVE the strength they get from their anti-democracy flexes. How's about we make "Republican" a fucking dirty word instead? Unlikely, I know. Hence, my reply title.

I was seeing this in the early 90's, back when most online activity was on BBS's or totally gated communities like early AOL. When the internet consisted of rather primitive pages and email. They were a lot more quiet back then, and spewed most of their hatred and violent desires in chain group emails than openly. But I saw it then, and have been warning people ever since. Of course, everyone said I was insane, paranoid, stupid, and "You can't call them terrorists because they don't agree with you!"

No. I called them terrorists because they were calling Randy Weaver and Tim McVeigh "heroes", calling for killing "the others" and wanting to violently overthrow the government.

The only thing that's changed? "We don't have to hide anymore!" And they haven't for, ohhh... about 6 years now.
