--snip--
In 1945 the Italian leader Benito Mussolini was caught by partisans and executed; his body was hung upside down from a gas station signpost for display to the public. No one complained, No lawyers came forward and decried this heinous crime. They didn’t bring briefs to the courthouse declaring that Mussolini deserved a fair trial. All were silent. Mussolini had brought Italy to ruin and the people were sick of it. The evidence was all around them and the verdict of the jury unanimous.

In 1989, Romanian leader Nickolai Chauchescu was taken out into the courtyard along with his wife, Alaina, and shot. The crime was never prosecuted as a new government was formed and life began anew. Chauchescu was full of himself as he built huge monuments to himself at the expense of the people. He had his government shower his wife with undeserved scientific accolades, all as the suffering of the people increased. As tensions escalated his bodyguards warned Chauchescu that it was no longer safe to leave the presidential palace. Chauchescu laughed off these warnings until one day he discovered his bodyguards had fled in fear for their own lives at the hands of the people.

Chauchescu and his wife were taken from the palace into the courtyard and Alaina’s last words were, “Nickolai, I think that they are going to shoot us!” Executed by the court of public opinion, a verdict swift and sure. A verdict that every future leader of Italy or Romania is well aware of and not because of case law. It is the unspoken line, the line that dare not be crossed because civilization is a voluntary organization. If we feel that the laws and covenants cease to work for the common good then we have every right to withdraw our participation.

11. Amazing, isn't it? n/t

[WinstonSmith4740]

14. Wow, this is weird...

But I was thinking the exact same thing. Italy's had something like what, 50 governments since the end of WWII? They keep chugging along, and none of their government heads have tried to screw with them since they hung Mussolini literally by his heels. I remember Chauchescu claiming he didn't recognize the right of the citizen's tribunal to try him, but he's still dead.

15. I've been saying this for a LONG time now - this is LONG overdue...

WAY past the time for us to do likewise...

I only wish to live long enough to see these CRIMINAL REPUKES in the same posture as Mussolini, the Romanoffs, or Louis XVI...

and I am DEADLY serious...

17. the pubs are dead ...it just has not sunk in yet with anyone.

We were all traumatized so bad ..dare I say PSTD?

I am one who just woke up from this bush nightmare but still checking under beds and that the doors are locked... lights on till i feel safe.


Their entire platform has been shown to be a farce. GW killed them like he wrecked everything else. And they helped him all the way.

Look for them to attempt to redefine themselves once they think they are able... the "New Republicans"

[Hubert Flottz]

18. And so it goes for KKKarl's thousand year Reich wing plan

The GOPers managed their "Political Capital" about the same way the managed the economy and our national security. 25% approve of the job they have done. That 25% must be the "Have Mores" and the hard core holy rollers.

Criminals belong in jail where they are not a threat to law abiding people.

[tclambert]

20. A lot of the "Have Mores" have realized Bush hurt them, too.

The car company execs are not happy with the Republicans right now. Likely, many businesspeople are looking to Democrats for salvation now, too. A lot of them put pragmatism over party loyalty. There are still a lot of diehard true believers in the Republican camp, though. The thing that has always amazed me is that many of them are not the rich campaign donors who make money off Republicans looting the treasury, but are middle class people who somehow think it's right to follow or even idolize their Republican heroes. Not many of those heroes left.

And maybe that's how you keep them down. Don't give them any hero opportunities. And build up the Democratic heroes.

[Hubert Flottz]

21. I pity anyone who is still stupid enough to not see through

George W Bush. Those people are beyond hope or understanding.

[Enthusiast]

22. People no longer automatically

believe what the Republican and wing nut talking heads say. For a long while many did. Now, after being so disappointed by the Republicans, citizens are taking everything they say with a grain of salt. They have destroyed their own credibility.

Remember the day before the financial crisis, McCain claimed "The fundamentals of the economy are strong." He tried to say it with real conviction. This, in and of itself, destroyed their credibility on economic issues.

And they are digging a deeper hole every day. When they make outrageous claims about Obama, like, "He is a Muslim. or, He was born in Africa. and, Obama is a socialist." They strain their already damaged credulity. People know Limbaugh started calling it "Obama's recession" long before he was even sworn into office. Another strike against their credibility. One strike after the other. They are believing their own lies, this a very dangerous thing.
