The story about the 30-40 House members (Birthers?) who refuse to recognize Obama’s legitimacy is extremely troubling, though. It’s a virtual guarantee that government will accomplish nothing. Shame on those who voted those dim-bulb extortionists into office.

I loathe the term “Real America”, but I can’t help but assume that these 30-40 people represent districts that are far more white, evangelical Christian, and rural that American as a whole. They find themselves in a country in which they’re out of touch with the realities of 21st Century America, and the solution is not to adapt to the changes, but to try to blow the country up and start over again in the hope of creating a Utopia for white, rural, evangelical people.

It’s political radicalism at its finest. Robespierre and Lenin would find nothing wrong in their thought process.
