Conservative talk radio<\/strong> takes a huge chunk out of liberal\/Democrat politicians.<\/p>\n

Democratic Party: \u00a0“We need to shut up and\/or discredit talk radio”.<\/p>\n

The Libertarian frat party, three months later: \u00a0“Talk radio is teh short bus radio for dummies!”<\/p>\n

Republican candidate for President\u00a0<\/strong>promise, in an election where foreign policy figures to have a significant impact, a policy of confronting and attacking terror.<\/p>\n

Democratic Party: \u00a0“They are going to eat our feckless party’s lunch on foreign policy, and there’s nothing our Sanders-loving base will let us do about it”<\/p>\n

The Libertarian frat party, three months later: \u00a0“Warvangelicals! \u00a0They just want to kill brown people!”<\/p>\n

Benghazi<\/strong> threatens the reputation of the Secretary of State and heir-apparent to the Presidency.<\/p>\n

Democratic Party: \u00a0“We need to defuse this Benghzi thing”.<\/p>\n

The Libertarian frat party, three months later: \u00a0“Hey! \u00a0Faux News wants a new war, and they’ll chant Benghazi ’til they get one! \u00a0You’re paranoid!”<\/p>\n

Obama signs a feckless, stupid deal\u00a0<\/strong>with the Iranians – one that is not only provoking Neville Chamberlain to scream “No!” from the grave, but is making George McGovern angry.<\/p>\n

Democratic Party: \u00a0“We need to marginalize the opposition to this deal”.<\/p>\n

The Libertarian frat party: \u00a0“Republicans just want waaaaaaar!”<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton’s email servers<\/strong>\u00a0may violate the law in the same way David Petraeus’ emails did, only possibly much, much worse.<\/p>\n

Democratic Party: \u00a0“We need to defuse the email server situation”<\/p>\n

The Libertarian frat party, a month later: \u00a0“Email server is the new Benghazi!”<\/p>\n

No, correlation doesn’t equal causation.<\/p>\n

Of course not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
