it doesn't matter what their 'manly man' has done. Has it stopped Christie, Walker, etc. from being re-elected, despite their aggressive, even brutish, ill-mannered personas?

And can we maintain the fantasy any longer that they want a civil society, when the signs of their hostility to all kinds of government is as in our faces as it is daily?

They are not playing by the same rule book we do with wanting to maintain legal order, procedure or protocol. Or government itself. Anarachy doesn't care about the nuances you cite that liberals believe in.

They want what they want and want it yesterday. We cannot hide from what they are doing any longer. This is a coup by the GOP mixing religion and state. At last report, Netanyahu is doubling down and has not cancelled. He is now clearly saying Obama's negotiations with Iran must be stopped.

I have given my examples of why this plays into GOP hands and not faulting our side, as we followed the rules. This nation is nothing like France, either.

They have come up with the ultimate stealth attack by tacking their ambitions unto Israel, which is at the core of Christian mythos. And those people show up at every election, they don't get caught up in minutae and complaints about Democrats not doing this or that fast enough to suit them, or even do things that are against the law to please them, or can't be done in the framework of the law.

It's a win for the GOP.
