It gets worse for the GOP

The American Conservative
by W. James Antle III

10/14/13

Initially, the American people s verdict on the government shutdown appeared to be 'a pox on both their houses.' Republicans received plurality blame, but Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and both major parties took something of a hit in the early polls. As the shutdown has continued, public opinion is beginning to look as one-sided as it did in 1995-96, if it isn?t worse. The Republican Party s favorability rating is at a record low, falling 10 points since September to just 28 percent. That s the lowest for either major party since Gallup started asking the question in 1992.

11/21/13

Twelve years ago this month, President George W. Bush issued an order authorizing the U.S. military to detain non-U.S. citizen ?international terrorists? indefinitely, and try some of them in military commissions.

Welcome to the United Police States of America
