I know it's hardly an original prediction, but I've got a nickel riding on the radical religious right (RRR) going completely non-linear after Terri Schaivo finally shuffles off the mortal coil.
And it's going to be pretty ironic when the terrorists that bomb, mutilate and horrify us turn out to be the very people that put Bush back into office.
Pretty darn ironic that it isn't people like Ward Churchill who snapped and decided to start killing off the Judiciary, blowing up IRS buildings and mowing down abortion providers. It won't be Michael Moore calling for the head of federal and state judges. It won't be his fat ass sending ricin cakes to the Supreme court.
Yep. It's going to be a barrel of laughs. It's pretty cool that all the "rational" jokers on the right - you know, the libertarian leaning jackals who are just in it for the tax cuts and regulation relief - decided to animate the dead corpse of Terri Schaivo and created a Frankenstein monster that's going to be a little hard to put back in the box again.
I just can't help but giggle whenever I think that the high and mighty conservatives would never - ever - win if it wasn't for the crazy religious types.
Theocracy now!
I wouldn't be surprised if you're right about the fundies going ape-shit berserk any time soon (maybe just in an effort to bring on Armageddon that much sooner); what would surprise me is if the government began racially-profiling guys like Timothy McVeigh and Randall Terry, or otherwise doing anything to alienate the Republican extremist base.
Considering this base just got the governor of a large state, both houses of congress and the president himself to dance to their tune. . .
