So what is up with all the fighting? Why does every thread turn into a room full of drunk badgers, wolverines with an estrogen overload, and cross dressing hyenas?

And the problem is....?

Free speech at its' finest. The best ideas are the ones that are put through the crucible of open debate, taking as much heat as possible.

Passions are high, because so much is at stake. Better that rhetoric and debate help to blow off some of that steam, rather than powder and bullets.

Grassroots activism is working - see 2010 rat sweep - and extending this to the executive is somehow a hell of a lot harder.

It’s OK. Next November the Tea Party will sweep out another 80 rats, and hundreds more at the State level. Whether we have the organizational ability to boot zero is in doubt now.

If we can’t get behind the candidate who will sandblast zero & co. off the face of our CONUS, at least we will probably have the discipline to strangle him with the reddest Congress and Senate the US has ever seen.
