If this insurrection is driven by something other than a blend of ideological extremism and personal animosity, it is not clear what that might be. But it is ugly, it deepens mistrust of government and it harms the office of the president, not just Mr. Obama

Because they intended Mitt to be the last president. All they wanted as one of their leaders said, is a president with enough working digits to sign the legislation that has already been written. A national ALEX agenda.

The Koch Libertarian GOP Party want the country to devolve into states an sell every inch off to their cronies, and the people within the confines of those states will have no recourse.

That' why they attack every thing the President of the UNITED States does. Neo-Confederates don't want any of the US Constituion to exist except for perhaps, the first ten amendments. Which defunds the government, leaves out protection for the majority, and gives them what they want.

Not a small government, but an inclusive one, that will carry out the agenda of the global oligarchs in a way that the current starved federal government is finding harder to resist all the time. They see the government as a money making enterprise for themselves alone. Not a new process:



Where social mobility is a pipe dream, slavery is what some people are born to be in and they deserve it. Historically all caused by reducing government until it is so weak it cannot enforce laws as it was the only force keeping feudalism at bay.

Yes, Grover knew that cutting off funds and denying government taxes was the way and enforced the allegiance of the GOP, as the Koch brothers do now.

Thom Hartmann did a great analysis in this clip, referring to an author who states the case plainly:
