Oh how the Right loves to eat its own. In a past post. I commented on the "big tent" that is liberalism. http://lunchpailleft.com/...
But you will find no such inclusion in the Republican party. If you don't follow lock step with the talking heads at the top echelon of the party then you will be swiftly ostracized, ridiculed and dismissed. No matter what office you hold or your history of defending conservative ideas. If in a moment of weakness you inject logic in to your commentary or show any human empathy and compassion towards other people that might hold the same values as your party then you're in for a really bad day. Be assured that the Right will train its big guns on you and commence to shelling. The latest victims being Governor Chris Christie and retired general Colin Powell

Governor Christie has been attacked for simply recognizing that President Obama did his job as president in a timely and effective matter. Rush Limbaugh might be the clown that yells the loudest but he gets his marching orders directly from the Republican Party. There is a subtle message that you can hear if you tune your dog whistle. That message is not only attacking the President and the Governor but attacking the federal government and its ability to handle a tragedy. If the government does its job then that hurts the Rights case against "big government". These people want the government to run ineffectively so they can push their agenda for some kind of unrealistic Ayn Rand utopia. Because of their hatred of America and it core ideals.
Colin Powell is also a target for the Republican hate machine by making a logical case endorsing President Obama for reelection. By doing this he committed the ultimate sin in their eyes. Being a Black Republican convincing people to vote for a Democrat. Black Republicans are so rare and are paraded out at every opportunity as reason for the minority middle and upper class to vote against their own best interests. The role of Black Republicans as useful idiots is so important that the loss of even one is a tragedy.
So whats a party that is so obsessed with racial politics and the southern strategy to do with this turncoat. Call him a racist of course. When you cant beat'um. Project your own worst shortcomings on to them.

At least some in the party are starting to find this unbearable.

So if you align yourself with the Republican party they just put you on notice. Do not question. Do not think for yourself. You walk lock step with us or this will be your fate as well.
