Hmmmm,
I wonder if Lenin's ideas have entered the mainstream
No need to read any further than taking a look at the name of this hack of a "journalist": Nina Burleigh
For those of you uninformed about this hag - Reporter Who Offered Bill Clinton Oral Sex Calls "Clinton Cash" Author "Right-Wing Hatchet Man" | Video | RealClearPolitics
There's fringe groups of all kinds in America, always have been...but the author finally arrives at the paragraph containing the political point this article was written to convey:
"...Allen says the problem with the GOP’s absorption of extremist rhetoric and goals is not that it encourages the violent, but that it obstructs the normal ebb and flow of politics. When politicians court a base that believes the federal government is the enemy, it becomes nearly impossible to negotiate. Judging by the gridlocked committee rooms of the Capitol, that metaphorical truck bomb has already detonated in the heart of the American political process."
Got that? It's the same old Chris Matthews lament: Washington doesn't work like it used to anymore. "Your Daddy's Republican Party" used to make deals with Democrat Presidents. "Ronald Reagan talked like a Conservative...but he was in the back room making deals with Tip O'Neill." I get my Military Base...you get your HUD funding. That's the kind of Republican the libs want more of: guys like George Bush Sr., who will raise taxes to generate more money for Uncle Sugar - then take the political fall for it.
Your Daddy's Republican Party is sputtering - the libs are pizzed - and they're ready to compare you to Baby Murderers to express their frustration.
(Of course...the Democrat party nominating divisive Presidents who call religious gun-owners Bitter Clingers has nothing to do with this).
These are the same people that say Washington is broken, government is the enemy, it's the liberal media's fault, and then refuse to come to the table at all because reasons. That doesn't make much sense to say something is so forsaken and gone yet coming to the table to talk is the worst idea ever. Most Americans like it when their leaders can negotiate and play nice and show actual leadership. If I wanted to see a carnival act in DC I need only watch a congress in session. It's a shame that a willingness to negotiate has become a sign of weakness.

What's her INGO name?
Compromise can be all well and good until you start compromising your principles. You can't give away the farm just to show that you got something done.
If you want less government intrusion than we have, and after the end of every negotiation you have more government intrusion. What has the other side given you? What's the negotiation for anyway? Less intrusion than what they really wanted? Pfft.
