The Republican Disease vs. Reality
By larry beinhart
....There it is, the essential message of the Republican Party: We're afraid, let's kill somebody.
It's doesn't have to make sense. It doesn't matter if the only person killed was killed by friendly fire, let's kill somebody. It doesn't matter of killing somebody will actually make a difference, let's kill somebody. It doesn't matter if we invade the wrong country, let's kill somebody. Let's not worry about what happens afterward, we have to kill somebody. There are bad guys out there, let's kill somebody.
And, of course, the Democrats don't understand, we're being threatened, we have to kill somebody.
This virus of fear is a bizarre disease. More widespread than any flu and more dangerous. Because in the fever of fear, delirium blocks out reality.
