blue bits. red rocks.

Today’s Republican Party is a big spending enemy of civil liberties. It endorses torture and a president answerable to no one. It stands for unlimited federal power. “States rights” is now a bloody shirt to wave only when it serves the broader purpose of what verges on a tyrannical central government. Just look at what happened to California’s states rights when it tried to regulate emissions. It’s a party of theocracy, intolerance and, most of all, corporations running the government. In some ways it harkens back to the GOP of the late 1800s; in other ways, it is infinitely more frightening. This is John McCain’s party. John McCain, you’re no Barry Goldwater
