The Republican Party stands on the edge of a cliff. It has been brought to this moment of supreme hazard by the complete failure of its leadership, at both the national and state levels. On this past Saturday, March 21st, 2009, a Republican member of Congress called for armed violence by Republicans against their fellow Americans, and against their democratically elected government. Is the Republican Party committing itself to sedition?
Representative Michele Bachmann (Republican - Minnesota) had this to say on a radio show on this past Saturday:
“I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us ‘having a revolution every now and then is a good thing,’ and the people – we the people – are going to have to fight back hard if we’re not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States.”
