Thanks for your comments.

Extremists generally don’t think ahead to the end game, they operate on “faith” that so long as they stay firm with their ideals and never negotiate with the “devils” they will succeed.

But, a more practical answer about the endgame is in my followup post of March 24, 2010: “Republican Death Spiral enters militant phase” where I discuss the two possible consequences from here out.

I would love to read more of your insights. There is a definite lack of even handed journalism and political commentary in this country. Your voice is refreshing.
