Allen West Blasts Tea Party 'Schizophrenia' Over Debt Ceiling

It is not a good thing for this man to have a constituen­cy, and to be a leader. But in desperatio­n it's easy to accept that which otherwise we might shun. And America is indeed desperate; its way forward blunted and blurred; its destinatio­n the result of drift and mist.



This may be the worst its ever been... but with people like Allen West in office, it can get worse.

CNN's Don Lemon And Rand Paul Clash Over Debt Ceiling (VIDEO)

Rand Paul can only sing the songs he writes - but he so very obviously can't seem to figure out how to change key - or why anyone would ever want to do so. That's because he's a fool - but a very savvy, video-read­y one.



Don Lemon will always find it hard to best this very sneaky politician­-slash-man­iac. Elliot Spitzer put on his snarkiest smirk and tried it - and ended up sputtering while Paul skinned him and spit out the seeds.



How can this be, you ask, if he's a fool ?? Well, he's only one fool - and we're lots of fools

By and large, the HuffPo moderators don't like the words Nazi or Hitler or Fascist, unless they're used by someone on the right - as in Beck's latest bilefest. The righties are absolutely joyous about this...

Glenn Beck Calls Dead Kids 'Hitler Youth'

Glenn Beck Polishes His Credentials:

"Beck said that he was disturbed by the summer camp that was the site of the overwhelming majority of the carnage perpetrated by Anders Behring Breivik, the right-wing extremist who has admitted to the killings. The camp is run by Norway's leading center-left party, the Labor Party, and has long been a haven for young people looking to break into the political scene.

Beck said the camp 'sounds a little like the Hitler Youth. I mean, who does a camp for kids that's all about politics?'"
