The Party Of Dementia
From Charlie Pierce:
Constant, steady pressure. Call your reps and senators, and tell 'em what you expect.
Look at all the state representatives and senators proposing these bills and voting for them. That's your next generation of national Republican politicians. That's your Triple-A ballclub. For all the phony introspection that followed Romney's defeat, the internal processes by which the Republican party is shaping itself into a regional white-people's party that for an ideology has substituted only its various fears and hatred continue apace. The sudden media superstardom of a one-term governor of New Jersey isn't going to obviate the fact that, out there, more people take Glenn Beck seriously than take Chris Christie.We can't make the mistake of 2008, and kinda sit back after the election thinking good ol' Barack'll take it from here.
Constant, steady pressure. Call your reps and senators, and tell 'em what you expect.

I guess a coupla main points for me are these:
- We have to stop allowing ourselves to be made to believe that Democracy and Capitalism are interchangeable terms.
- We have to understand just how close we're coming to letting the Bain-type Vultures pull off a corporate takeover of our government. (Don't think so? Think about the assets owned by the USA, and then try not to think about that fat and juicy Pension Fund we've got, just layin' there ready for some smart buzzards to swoop in and pick it clean. What's happening now - what's been happening for 25 years - is classic Bain Capital / Henry Kravitz leveraged buyout bullshit.)

Just A Reminder
Reagan was shot by a random douche-nozzle carrying a legal gun; and he was shot while being guarded by well armed and very well trained professionals who were hand-picked because they were at the top of their game.

Today's Gun Nut
A guy named Keith Ratliff was a major player on YouTube, advocating the glories of guns and fun-with-a-gun and the importance of having a gun for personal protection, etc.
Mr Ratliff was found dead of a single gunshot wound to the head last week in Georgia.

It really sucks for his family; and his friends; and for whoever else is affected by the ripples created whenever anybody connected to any other human is suddenly gone.
I didn't know Ratliff, and while I won't be celebrating his death, I'm not gonna be shy about pointing out the simple fact that the irony here is thick enough to choke a fuckin' hippo.

A Frankfort man who was a business partner of the popular YouTube video channel personality known as FPSRussia was found shot to death last week at their firearms business in Carnesville, Ga., a sheriff there said Tuesday.
Franklin County, Ga., Sheriff Steve Thomas said he was investigating the death of Keith Ratliff, 32, as a homicide. Ratliff, who his family said commuted between Frankfort and Georgia, was found Thursday with a single gunshot wound to the head.
Thomas said Tuesday that no arrests had been made. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation also is investigating, he said.So, we can just let all that sink in for a short moment.
