Beyond Thunderdome

Dan Henninger sums up President Obama's new approach to governing and political debate: From hope and change to search and destroy...

Back in 1965, when American politics watched the emergence of the New Left movement—rebranded today as "progressives"—a famous movement philosopher said the political left should be "liberated" from tolerating the opinions of the opposition:"Liberating tolerance would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left."
That efficient strategy was the work of Herbert Marcuse, the political theorist whose ideas are generally credited with creating the basis for campus speech codes. Marcuse said, "Certain things cannot be said, certain ideas cannot be expressed, certain policies cannot be proposed." Marcuse created political correctness.
Republicans are not only wrong they and their ideas are intolerable and they deserve to be annihilated in political combat. It's taken the GOP four years to learn that this president has no interest in negotiating and compromise. A presidential spokesperson has already announced that the GOP is unworthy of the president's consideration. That is to say that nearly half of the people of this country who voted for Republican representatives - by extension - are unworthy of his consideration and respect.

If GOP have any respect for their own voters they will not go down without a fight.
