The Republicans you remember

The feds busted up a gang of Alabama asshats for attempting to set up a machine gun nest and kill Mexicans. Also found were over 200 homemade hand grenades.

In Austin, a bomb was found outside an abortion clinic. Uh oh, the "culture of life" is getting ready to kill again.

Also in Texas - go figure - the Chamber of Commerce in Beaumont has created its own newspaper to argue for tort "reform." i.e. eradication of the right to sue corporations. This is happening in an area of vast industrial pollution where lawsuits occur often, and for good reason.

Whether it is killing people based on race, blowing up doctors and their patients whose ethics you don't agree with, or trying to lie to people through the media, this is the GOP folks. They have no moral high ground, they are feeling up against the ropes even though they have power and the will to use it without any second-guessing. So, here it goes, zealots with bombs and ample stores of racism, hate, and self-loathing to use them.

We'll be fighting against the fundamentalist agents of evil soon I imagine, but it won't be the al-Qaeda kids, it'll be our own.
