Bears Repeating

Don't make us come out there & reiterate!
(Bores repeating?) From this think-piece on Glenn Beck as he leaves basic-cable:
After the economic collapse and the elections of 2008, the panic on the right was completely understandable. Bush made it clear that everything conservatives had fervently believed was false: tax cuts and deregulation don’t create jobs, American armies can’t remake the Middle East, capitalism is really socialism for the very rich, and the party of fiscal conservatism is in fact more profligate than generations of Democrats.

Taken together, this succession of ideological impossibilities hit the Republican base like the two bullets in Jason Bourne’s back. (Unfortunately, the rank and file do not have a laser signal for a numbered Swiss bank account buried in their hips—only their leadership gets that.) They underwent a severe psychological break, and when they came to they were no longer Republicans at all: They were Tea Partyers.
Needed perspective, even.

Lucklily for repukelitards, they had Barry Obama and Democratic corportatists take over.

"OH yeah, the reason that lizard people had their asses kicked in 2006 and 2008 was because Americans want bipartisan votes, and we're just going to be incompetent corporate whores and give the government back to the reptile people because that is what we do."

And here we are. Fucked again, by the good cops and the bad cops.

How'd it happen????

Would that be the Mark III repeating bear, or the Mark IV?

Well played.

We've covered the Police Beat before, but it worked best here.

Did not check the number on the bear. It's not in an easily-accessible location.
