Cue the Clown Music

Via Powerline is Tony Blankley's take on the Democratic Party's class clown status, from a historical perspective. This line made me think of something:

That is the trouble with being a rotten tomato-throwing member of the bleacher crowd. One may develop a small following amongst one's fellow complainers, but no large group of people are going to ask you to come out and lead the team.

Now I remember:

Civil rights activist and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond delivered a blistering partisan speech at Fayetteville State University in North Carolina last night, equating the Republican Party with the Nazi Party and characterizing Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her predecessor, Colin Powell, as "tokens."

"The Republican Party would have the American flag and the swastika flying side by side," he charged.


This kind of drivel always makes me wonder if...in the far away time...all of this will end in a full blown Yammer rebellion. I mean...if the Republican Party is really a modern incarnation of the Nazi Party, its removal from power is worth any cost.

What if their Comprehensive Vision for America, wherever it may be, isn't enough to make significant gains in 2006. What if, after 2008, Republicans still have control of the House, the Senate, and the executive. That would mean essentially 12 years of "Nazi" rule in America. Are we to believe that the Yammers have no intention of rising up after a decade of living under these unspeakably oppressive conditions?

It's already been six long years. If we don't see armed insurrection by...say...2009, I'm afraid I'm going to have to start doubting the courage of their convictions.
