No crisis...

...about practically anything, really. Not anything on the Republican agenda, anyway. Jesse at Pandagon gets it...

If you look at what they're proposing, it's a series of patently false crises that are imperiling roughly nobody. Same-sex marriage? Social Security "bankruptcy"? Gun grabbers, trial attorneys and, well, liberals?

It's the Cavalcade of Conspiracy, a well-funded, well-oiled machine that accomplishes virtually nothing because, and this is the key, it isn't doing what the GOP says it is. And precisely because there's nothing to really stop, the appeal of the GOP is based on making you very angry for a very long time about an issue which they have neither the intent nor the ability to stop.

That's if they can't make you afraid of something they can't protect you from, anyway...
