(America) - I am becoming more convinced that Republicans have completely lost their minds. Not talking looney, here - talking genuine DENIAL. More denial than Hillary Clinton supporters - more denial than any Libertarian when talking about the fundamentals of science and human behavior discovered in the last 150 years - more denial than William Hong.

And by this denial, they are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

The clown show, called the Progressive primary, is creating the biggest race riot since Los Angeles in the early 70's. Added to that is the fact that people are voting for CONSERVATIVES even if they happen to be Progressives. You would think the Republicans would get the message.

But as the long-dead John Belushi said, "Noooooooooooooooooooo."

A while back, I warned about this. Did anybody listen? I warned about people voting themselves money out of the common weal. Did anybody listen? I warned about losing the link between libertarians (little "l"), northern small business owners, Reagan Progressives and a growing "cocktail Republican" party. Did anybody listen?

"Noooooooooooooooooooo."

Now, they have lost a race they THOUGHT they had a lock on, in Mississippi. And instead of realizing what their failure is, they act like the Police Captain in Casablanca. They're "shocked, Rick, shocked I tell you!" They act like they don't know it's their abandonment of conservative and libertarian values that have turned avid supporters into dismayed and tepid voters.

This very thing happened back in the late 1840's and it created the party that is currently committing suicide. Maybe it will happen again. I doubt it though.

By the time conservatives and libertarians are ready to assert themselves again, being a conservative and libertarian will have been outlawed, along with gun possession, smoking cigars in your own home, and winning sports events in high school.

Also, stupidity and denial are "catching." Look what's happening to the President and "global warming." I just hope that the economic fascists we're getting ready to elect will leave something, after they rape the economy of the greatest country in the world.

But, I doubt that, too.
