Just askin, but do these Republicans want to be tied to wanting to change this historic, post-Civil War amendment, which made former slaves and their children full citizens in this country?

For the GOP, does this help them with their problem at wooing non-white votes?

NBC News “First Read”; if the MSM is noticing this trend and commenting on it, even in what (to them) is a web backwater for mouth-breathers, I can only assume it’s starting to get some real traction among serious people. This, of course, is bad for The Democrat.

The idea of a backlash against “crazy town conservatism” makes about as much sense as a backlash against professional wrestling.
What is called “conservatism” in America today is no longer a political or ideological movement. It is an entertainment demographic.
The so-called “leaders” of so-called “movement conservatism” are less and less interested in actual political leadership, and more and more interested in schemes for separating the Ditto-Head rubes from their money.

You can laugh at the Tea Party if you want to.
But Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are laughing even harder.
All the way to the bank.

Sublime and timely. Suggest adding at least one tooth to said logo. Also maybe a kitten.
