They are lousy defenders of democracy. <\/p>\n<p>I think I watched the Rachel Maddow show about two years ago. I&#8217;ve seen a few youtube clips of her but that&#8217;s about it.  I was just doing some uncharacteristic channel surfing when I happened upon this story. She was saying something about the worst example of GOP excess since the 2010 election. I held on to watch. <\/p>\n<p>What she reported about the Republicans of the Michigan legislature is truly vomit inducing. Its worse than a mandated transvaginal ultrasound. If I were a concealed and carry gun owner and a Democratic Michigan legislator I&#8217;d be tempted to use the &#8220;stand your ground&#8221; defense and shoot Michigan&#8217;s GOP legislators. <\/p>\n<p>See for yourself. If you don&#8217;t agree that these bozos are acting like little fascists you are probably embarassed by Jesus and his defense of the poor and humiliated.
