the Repubs obviously dont know what all they dont know, such that even on Friday afternoon, Boehner ran away like a toddler from further negotiations, further jeopardizing the entire US economy.  Needlessly and for purely poolitical partisanship points. .  Could the Repubs be carrying out a plan to revive the Know Nothing Party?  the platform is certainly similar:

 

  • Severe limits on immigration, especially from Catholic/Muslim countries.
  • Restricting political office to native-born Americans of English and/or Scottish lineage and Protestant persuasion.
  • Mandating a wait of 210 years before an immigrant could gain citizenship.
  • Restricting public school teacher positions to Protestants or Baptists
  • Mandating daily Bible readings in public schools.
  • Restricting the sale of liquor.
  • Restricting the use of languages other than English.

It was the progressives that supported prohibition.  Ron Paul wants to legalized nearly everything.

 

The waiting period for citizenship was 21 years, not 210 years. Jeez!

 

Try to sell the Bible reading to the Objectivist wing. 

 

Ditzy, you really are shooting from a bit below the hip, tonight, aren't you!  As from where the sun never shines.

The Repubs, like the Know Nothings may just find themselves extinct due to their own short-sighted goals.  Even Norquist is calling Bohner unreasonable for failing to find a compromise on the debt ceiling regardless of the tax or spending considerations.  And the public is turning on the Repubs for it.  Except for the Tea Party extremists, perhaps to be extinct soon also.
