G'damn, Craig Fry and BOBda, think you can post that same meme for the 50th time?

David Horowitz, as a liberal-turned-conservative, is speaking autobiographically in that quote as a liberal who did in fact turn into a fascist, bigoted hater.

“We want to give Boehner a governable majority so the crazies you hate will be irrelevant.”

This is how the Washington Republican Establishment talks to its K Street allies. It’s a quote from last October when a Republican campaign operative told the business community why it was important for Republicans to capture 245 House seats. The establishment isn’t focused on marginalizing liberal lawmakers trying to grow the size and scope of government. They want to marginalize conservative lawmakers fighting to keep the reasonable promises they have made to their constituents.

FIFY!

My Daddy's bigger and badder than your Daddy... na na na ... NA!

U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies

KABUL, Afghanistan — In his last phone call home, Lance Cpl. Gregory Buckley Jr. told his father what was troubling him: From his bunk in southern Afghanistan, he could hear Afghan police officers sexually abusing boys they had brought to the base.

“At night we can hear them screaming, but we’re not allowed to do anything about it,” the Marine’s father, Gregory Buckley Sr., recalled his son telling him before he was shot to death at the base in 2012. He urged his son to tell his superiors. “My son said that his officers told him to look the other way because it’s their culture.”

Rampant sexual abuse of children has long been a problem in Afghanistan, particularly among armed commanders who dominate much of the rural landscape and can bully the population. The practice is called bacha bazi, literally “boy play,” and American soldiers and Marines have been instructed not to intervene in some cases, not even when their Afghan allies have abused boys on military bases, according to interviews and court records.

I always find it amazing that Asians are so adept at avoiding casualties in wars.

The size of Gov't has grown so out of control since 2008. The hypocrisy of the bureaucracy is beyond fked up.

Not sure how the clever pundits could miss this, but when you have one faction outwardly professing a desire to transform our nation into something entirely new, while another faction outwardly professes to either retain our identity, or return our identity to something it was once before, the simple answer to Rucker’s question is: No. Republicans and Democrats are not currently talking about the same nation, and the paths sought by each have very little in common.

The United States Constitution is, without question, a document which secures the rights of self-governance among the States and the People, while bestowing minimal authority upon the federal government to oversee very specific elements of governance.

Republicans -- generally speaking, and especially when compelled by conservatives to do so -- seek to preserve the integrity of the Constitution by maintaining its fixed restrictions upon federal power. Because if the integrity of this fundamental principle of the republic is not observed, the republic will cease to be the republic our Founders created.

So forget the preconceived notions you may have had over the years about the measures of viability for a Republican candidate. The mainstream pundits will insist that appeal as a centrist or a moderate is a prerequisite for viability, but to believe in that nonsense requires a misunderstanding of the cultural and ideological divisions that have become more prominent these last seven years.

Which candidate can convincingly capture and disseminate the ideas of individual liberty and limited federal authority, returning power to the States and the People? These are the core principles of classical liberalism, conservatism, federalism, libertarianism, and ultimately, the core principles of America.

Whoever can do that will win the Republican ticket, and with it, a great chance at restoring those very principles in national governance.

Kind a like them once affiliated Gangbangers that saw the light and totally disengaged themselves from the ideology/lifestyle.
