Bachmann's antics would be comical if she didn't actually have power and support. What really upsets me is how she gets away with using terms like "freedom" and "liberty", when talking about the rights to pollute the Earth, the right to let poor people die without healthcare, and the right to limit the rights of others that they don't like. THAT is their definition of Freedom--freedom to crush all that stand in her way. No one calls these morons on it, because they have a support base. When you criticize them, someone steps up and says "hey wait, I support Bachmann/Palin/Boehner etc, as if once someone agrees with their insanity, its a legitimate poin t.  

 The fact is, the Conservative movement is gaining steam, with or without the benefit of facts or logic, and Progressives, Liberals, whatever you call yourself, we NEED to keep pushing back.

Regardless what they call it   when they are addressing a crowd with signs like this  ..  (its a picture of a pile of bodies from a concentration camp  and it says  National Socialist Health Care Dachau  Germany 1945)  Its become clear what has happened to the republican party.

A conservative believes nothing should be done for the first time
