Yeah, we know. Or I do, at least. Still, it's close enough to have some fun.

Oh I see what happened. I completely missed what you were replying to.

Really good piece on how the GOP argument about guns needed to overthrow the government went from Bircher fringe to base Gospel.

For even if we are now seeing a polarization of Democratic opinion on guns away from any idea of compromising with a GOP that is totally beholden to the gun lobby, it is a response to an earlier and much more radical polarization of Republicans. And to a remarkable extent, the default position of conservatives has less and less to do with arguments about the efficacy of gun regulation or the need for guns to deter or respond to crime. Instead, it’s based on the idea that the main purpose of the Second Amendment is to keep open the possibility of revolutionary violence against the U.S. government.

This was once an exotic, minority view even among gun enthusiasts who tended to view the Second Amendment as protecting an individual right to gun ownership not to overthrow the government but to supplement the government’s use of lethal force against criminals. Treating the Second Amendment as an integral legacy of the American Revolution appealed to gun rights advocates who sought firm ground against regulations with no possibility of compromise.

But more importantly, it gave a dangerous edge to the claims of conservative extremists—who recently began calling themselves “constitutional conservatives”—that their ideology of absolute property rights, religious rights and even fetal rights had been permanently established by the Founders who added in the Second Amendment to ensure any trespassing on their “design” by “tyrants” or popular majorities could and should be resisted.

Nowadays this revolutionary rationale for gun rights is becoming the rule rather than the exception for conservative politicians and advocates.

He'd certainly try to undo some of the damage that's been done, though undoing damage is always much harder than doing damage, as we've observed in recent years.

Bob is finally making sense. We saw how easy it was for Bush to damage the country and in recent years we have seen how difficult it is to undo said damage.

In some areas, yes. The surveillance state is stronger than ever, for instance. There aren't that many people who are ok with it, though. Perhaps if so much time and energy weren't spent on fake scandals...

Benghazi was real. It was just covered in order to make Obummer won in 2012.

The real conspiracy is all those GOPeople who obviously agreed to suppress the findings of multiple official investigations that there was indeed a cover-up and misconduct by both the POTUS and SOS. With all the time and money they have spent on those investigations, you know they are keeping that stuff secret.
