So because you don't agree with me, I'm a whacko? Are you that insecure, that you go for the attack? Don't answer that. I already know. Like it or not (and you don't) God created everything. If anything, science proves the existance of a creator. Not my opinion, just a fact. Faith is believing what you can't see. But that is another topic.
Government has a place, but not telling me to buy their healthcare, or what car to drive, or that I cannot use a plastic bag, OR that I can't wear an American flag t-shirt on Cinco De Mayo, blah,blah,blah. Try working on having a self-esteem, and chill out, before being so defensive. It was not a personal attack on you, you don't need to personaly attack me
Well the right-wing 'wackadoos' was a general reference, not at you directly.
And I will 1000% support your right to wear the $7.99 American Flag shirt you bought from Wal-Mart that was made in China for $.32, on Cinco De Mayo...Screw them damn mexicans! They need to just shut up and be good little Republicans and go back to mowing the lawn for $4/hr.
You're exactly what I'm laughing about. Obama isn't exactly what I would call progressive. he's more of a centrist but the crazy right thinks he's some kind of socialist monster. It's comical to listen to some of this nonsense.
Used to be the people actually elected to office in the party just spouted that nonsense, they didn't believe it. But a couple solid decades of nonstop idiocy leads to a generation of seriously deluded folks and now they make up at least half, if not a majority of the elected GOP.
To answer your original question it was a gradual takeover of the crazies but the tipping point is generally agreed to be the 1994 Republican Revolution, when just about anyone with an -R after their name got voted in.

So much hate, and insecurity. Maybe go see your therapist?
I do not shop at Wal-Mart, they make crap quality clothes. I know, I know, people who shop at Wal- Mart are beneath you, because you shop on Rodeo Dr. And I don't do anything just to "screw" with anyone.I actually have a life. Try just try stating you opinion without the nastyness, for once. Go ahead and try it. It might make you feel better.
I must be a real "cheap Mexican" cause I do my own lawn for free.
Let me guess, now I'm a mean crazy whacko, because I don't hire someone to do my lawn????
BTW, most of the "lawn guys" around here are Asian....how steryotypical of you to think that only Mexican mow lawns, and for cheap.

The funny part is, lot of the Democrat base shop at Walmart. Unless I'm in some crazy part of the country where most of the blacks and Hispanics are Republicans, I seriously doubt that. Hm, wait. Limo libs making fun of people who shop at walmart, where have I heard that before on CD? Just more of their holier than thou non-sense. White NIMBY liberals shop at Target and Whole Foods. Their slaves on their plantation shop at Walmart.
during the clinton presidency that coincided with the rise of faux news and the right-wing talk-radiot cabal. But they have overstretched, far worse than the liberals ever did, so they will do a much bigger self-destruct job and feel a greater backlash than the far-left did.
he is very much a centrist. Perhaps you should actually learn something about politics and history, and not the garbage you get spoon fed by the snakeoil salesmen glen beck, rush limbaugh, sean hannity, and the rest of the right-wing media cabal.
Any smart, rational adult with the tiniest perspective can see obama isn't some radical socialist, nazi, communist, facist, radical left-wing terrorist like the right-wing talk-radiot/faux news machine has duped you simpletons into believing!
At what point did the right go completely crazy? You mean wake up and get active.
Growing up in the 80's I remember the republican party as the the the more sane political party while the left was full of whiny annoying liberals that complained about everything. Democrats are spending us into a black hole and doubling the cost of insurance. Republicans want smaller government and the debt brought down, how is that crazy?
Well 30 years have gone by and the democratic party hasn't changed (yes it has, the communist, anarchist and rebels within are in control of the Democrat party now) as it's still full of whiny annoying liberals that complain about everything but the republican party that used to be somewhat level headed has gone off the deep end so far that it's literally scary. You balance your check book. If you wrote checks that bounced you would go to jail. Government writes checks with money we don't have and we are going to be doomed if that goes on. Republicans want to stop that and you think THAT IS THE DEEP END? It's become a party of extremists that never shut up about anything. Maybe you are connected too strongly to government or you like the idea of communism where you take other people's stuff? Which is it?
When did the tides turn
You have the premise all wrong.
#1 The Democrat party since the 80s has taken a hard left toward European styled socialism.
#2 Many Republicans used to get along fearing the Democrat party ability to buy votes with the treasury.
#3 Now the Democrats are going a 100 MPH toward our country's destruction trying to grow the government with dependents, employees that should be instead in the private sector and growing debt like crazy because they are crazy.
There is no sanity in what the Democrat party wants.
We are a Constitutional form of government and Democrats want us to be Greece.
Half the Republicans are weak and would go along with anything that will get them elected and should be sent home as well as all the Democrats.
Lots of people are recognizing the problems now and as we see the country go toward a black hole of a mess, we are complaining and seeking representatives who want to make the tough choices of slashing the government and spending before we are truly Greece.
There is NO MIDDLE GROUND WITH DEMOCRATS.
They want everyone connected to the government in some way to vote Democrat. So they grow the poor and government employees.
Republicans want small government again like the 60s, they want a more balanced budget that still covers the disabled and retired folks.
The rest has to be looked at a bit at a time and be repealed, removed or modified.
No middle ground to agree on, so you get after Obama forced Obama-care down our throats groups like the Tea Party made up of Independents, Republicans, Democrats who don't like Big Government tyranny, control or their new elite control of private sector America.
People want no fraud in voting. To clean the rolls and check ID.
They don't want non-citizens on the social programs.
They want politics out of schools.
They want the debt paid off, balanced budgets and a respect for all work so those who are poor don't remain that way on welfare.
They will repeal Obama-care.
No Middle ground to agree on, so you get lots of loud passionate debating and opposing ideas.
The left likes IMO tyranny through the government.
The right likes smaller government and lots more freedom to grow the private sector.
Last thing to think about. Used to be 1 out of 100 worked for the government in the 60s, now it is 11 out of 100 due to Democrats.
This is NOT sustainable and in truth we need to fire a bunch of the government employees to the private sector. Democrats are apposed to this despite many of these people UNIONS in government being promised to retire with millions of taxpayer dollars.

Ok tell me the left's idea of what they want out of government, the people and the future?
Then tell me what you think the right is up to regarding the same things?
