"It must have been the civil rights movement coupled with the Vietnamese war that set Rs on a different track. After all, the positions of Nixon were not as far right as Rs now." That's when the (R)'s absorbed all the southern racists and rednecks. That took them a step into crazy. Then, Reagan adopted the weepy, fetus-loving Evangelicals, although he didn't even attend church and could give a shit about religion. That took them further into crazyland. Now, the Tea Partiers have them convinced that they just STILL aren't crazy enough, and THAT's the problem..

>When I read that quote, it was like dealing with an alien from another world. He would have been a moderate Dem in 2010. It must have been the civil rights movement coupled with the Vietnamese war that set Rs on a different track. After all, the positions of Nixon were not as far right as Rs now. Well, do note that the John Birch Society said that Eisenhower was a Communist, and a significant swath of the Tea Party movement is descended from the John Birch Society. -Z
