It's time to "relabel" this lot. We all use different phrases for them. Sometimes they are;
Right wing nut jobs
Wing nuts
Religious fanatics
Flat earthers
Anti-science
Chronically stupid
Anti intellectual
etc.
I'd like to commission a project right here on C-D to come up with an easy to use shorthand to describe them. Something that can't be misinterpreted as insulting to religious (be kind to others and mind your own f'ng business) people, does not belittle parts of aircraft.
Among some friends last night I heard some suggestions
Palinites
Rushannities
Destroyers of the "real" Republican party
Chronically p***** off
Victims of their own stupidity.
I'm leaning toward Rushannities, but I hate to give any kind of pub to those two morons and their rantings on the radio.
Rushannities could be misconstrued as a prescription and addictive medication that sends you into lala land wanting more and more of your fantasy world. I think I'd avoid that one.
I think this is a real possibility - two separate right wing parties. I'll bet it's being seriously talked about. Because what we think of as "the base" are not the old school fiscal conservative Republicans - what my father called Eisenhower Republicans. Pro-education, pro-diplomacy, small federal government - lot of local government. Ron Paul supporters?
The base is more, you could say, concerned with social conservativism - the Christian Right, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich "Contract with America" folks - more emotion-driven. I think they might be a larger group than the old-school lot - not sure but they're definitely more vocal. I could see both Clintons over here.
The old school Republicans - dying out?
