The tea party die-in is now being carried live (get it? a live die-in? har!) on C-SPAN3.

Michele Bachmann just shrieked at the top of her voice, “It’s like the charge of the light brigade!”

I don’t think that’s really the best analogy for her to use. Does Bachmann realize that the Light Brigade was almost completely destroyed in that famous battle, due to a series of astoundingly incompetent decisions by leaders?

On second thought, that does sound like a pretty good analogy for the tea parties.

Looking at Obamacare from a Radical Republican point of view, I hope it passes because it will make the collapse of the American economy inevitable. This would lead to massive unemployment, hunger, disease and anarchy. The upside is that it would radicalize the middle class to rise in a bloody Second American Revolution, which would conclude with the execution, imprisonment, or exile of most Leftists in the country. The division of this country into two hostile camps will not end as a result of compromise and elections, but only by “Iron and Blood.”
