The Republican Party and the Politics of Crazy
"Republicans have been lying and fear-mongering about President Obama since before he ever moved into the White House, they believe these individuals who have an irrational fear of the government and this president have a right to feel that way – because of the lies they’ve been told by politicians like themselves. The worst part is, the GOP seems to be embracing all of this. Even as this Jade Helm conspiracy nonsense has gone on, I’ve yet to see a big pushback from Republican leaders against Texas Governor Greg Abbott for basically giving legitimacy to one of the most asinine things I’ve ever witnessed in this country. You would think if they were ashamed of this type of lunacy, as they should be, they would have been fairly quick to loudly denounce and condemn such idiocy. But for the most part, the GOP has remained silent, aside from those who seem to be encouraging this insanity speaking out."
