You sound like an obnoxious snob.
Just sounds like a statement of fact to me. If the shoe fits....

The right wing here is extreme right, and what few moderates there are left are getting squeezed out. It is all part of the process of the fall of the empire.
If I were some anti-US organization like al-Qaeda or the Taliban, or even Iran or Venezuela, I would put away the weapons and find ways to fund the Republican and Tea parties. They'll do the job for you in the long run, and far more effectively. Refer to to the Bush administration if in doubt; massive damage done that will last for decades.

My family is still that way but my dad is considering voting for Romney this time around (he voted for Carter, Clinton, Mondale, Obama etc) because he feels that the leadership of the country is rudderless and this time around feels like Obama is divisive. Compared him to GW Bush. I think the Democrats need to swing back to the center after this second Obama term.
Hmm . . . your family supported all the other Dem. presidents, but not Obama. Let's put their faces in a photo lineup and play "Which one is not like the other?"
Oh, wait, I forgot, your family supported the civil rights movement. Riiiiight.
BTW -- Obama's divisive? Or the USA has its share of racist, conspiracy-theory obsessed loonies that have focused their hate on Obama.

It made me very scared. I'm only being slightly paranoid, but this is how dictatorships start. Continuously feed people falsehoods that the press doesn't have the balls to say are *lies* and eventually you have an misinformed majority (and some folks who know what's real but actually support these ideas) that gives you power.
I'm truly scared for our nation. Not because of what the Repubs are doing and saying, but for the fact that they just don't get called on it. Lies are left to hang out there. The general public is not reading all these fact-checker sites. Everyone gets their news from a source that already aligns with their worldview, so they never hear both sides of the story. People hear Paul Ryan say something, and they're going to assume he's telling the truth. It started with Sarah Palin - she would repeat lies over and over. I guess they figured it was a successful strategy.
Where have you been since Wens night? The media has done nothing BUT pick apart Ryan's speech, line by line, in an attempt to "expose" the untruths and misinformation. Read the WashPost from yesterday if you don't believe me.
I think you're confusing this with the Obama message.
