Some of the more totalitarian Marxists (Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot) weren't too happy about gays either.<br /><br />As far as Bill Clinton's thugocracy goes, it's an odd thugocracy that lets its leader get impeached.<br /><br />As far as a new party emerging to replace the Republicans goes, the thing to keep in mind about the two-party system is that it's SYSTEMIC. There are all sorts of laws, rules, and regulations, on both the state and federal levels, that keep third parties marginalized. So, unless they try to get all those laws, rules, and regualtions changed, the "true" center rightest (whom I have no reason to particularly trust any more than the extremists) are stuck with the GOP.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-47489629759167411222009-05-11T10:57:00.000-04:002009-05-11T10:57:00.000-04:00Religate me to the conspiracy theorist file but I ...Religate me to the conspiracy theorist file but I am convinced the biggest terrorist threat to the U.S. at this time is internal, not external.<br />Wouldn't surprise me in the least if some wingnut set off a dirty bomb here if they could pin failure of national security on the left.<br /><br />RJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-91764226682193743682009-05-11T10:03:00.000-04:002009-05-11T10:03:00.000-04:00I can't imagine one-party rule for any signifi...I can't imagine one-party rule for any significant length of time, but the GOP could easily be toppled by a brave new party, one that sprouts from the REAL center-right.<br /><br />But what a bunch of gasbags they are!
