The Tea Party "small government" bullshit that cripples the ability to COLLECT TAXES from the 1 percenter fux. The great expansion of the right-wing media, public FAUX-NOOZE brainwashing stations in every truck stop in the U.S.... er... wasn't it hitler's germany that installed his loudspeakers all over to broadcast his hateful rhetoric? The attempt to silence all but the most subservient fools really scares me.

These Volksempfänger, "People's Radios" were gimped (no shortwave reception) so they could only pick up local Nazi propaganda stations.

All of this while the msm and RNC is giving serious time to radicalized reactionary right wing teabaggers and the Fox "News" agenda. We live in scary times, and we're leaving the hard work to our grandchildren if we don't find a way to deny political legitimacy to extremists, while maintaining the liberties we hold so dear. America is NOT completely lost; if it was the autocrats, plutocrats and other criminally wealthy wouldn't be fighting so hard in district after district- state after state- to enact the destruction of America to make way for the new, and Teabagger-approved, "Amurika".
Some sort of horrible, bloody act of domestic terrorism- carried out by members of the extremist Teabagger faction- will finally galvanize Americans in thier disgust for the members and aims of the new right wing in America.

the die-off of the WWII generation so easily duped by their message will take care of future election results. Upsets me the continual efforts to circumvent that still could have landed the likes of Mitt in the highest office... shudder...
