"I am indeed the 'Grim Reaper' when it comes to the socialist agenda that they have been ginning up over the House with overwhelming Democratic support, and sending it over to America," he declared in an interview on Fox News Channel last week. "Things that would turn us into a country we have never been." McConnell's campaign is even providing contributors with T-shirts featuring a tombstone for "socialism" on the front and a similar quote underscoring his determination to block the House agenda on the back.

Has the distinct smell of the last days of the Soviet Union about it.

What we have there is an explicit declaration that it is/will be morally necessary to suspend democracy if and when so-called socialist* policies are enabled by democratic means.

*) For 'socialist' read 'anything the GOP/McConnell doesn't like'.**

**) For 'anything the GOP/McConnell doesn't like' read 'any idea about anything from anybody who isn't GOP/McConnell'.

Right-wing militia groups across the Pacific Northwest are mobilizing to prevent Oregon state police from arresting Republican state senators who went into hiding on Thursday in order to prevent climate change legislation from passing.

All 11 of Oregon’s Republican state senators are currently on the lam, with some leaving for Idaho in an effort to deny the Democrat-controlled state senate a quorum to pass a cap-and-trade bill. In response, Oregon Governor Kate Brown (D), citing a provision in the state constitution that allows the state to “compel” absent lawmakers to attend legislative sessions, dispatched state troopers to bring them back.

One of the lawmakers on the lam, Republican Brian Boquist (R), warned that he would resort to violence rather than return to the state, implying in a local television interview that he would attack law enforcement officers sent to retrieve him.
