The Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Florida), has chosen to go over the top in hysterical language to scare the public. The leader of the party that controls both the White House and the Senate fantasizes that the Republican majority in the House must have tanks hidden in the streets of Washington, DC ready to surround the Capitol. She is accusing the GOP of using "the tactics of a dictatorship." because they will not roll over for President Obama without a fight to hold down ruinous over spending. Such childish ranting proves that she is unfit to have a leadership role in any thoughtful policy debate.
Memo to the hyper-emotional MSNBC pundit Lawrence O'Donnell: there once was a time in American history when mature adults were allowed to have reasonable differences of opinion. But apparently that is no longer the case. Growing government in size and power is everything to many Democrats and it is their only program. Your freedom is just not that important as they seek to confiscate as much as they can of the fruits of your labor because in their view you only exist to serve the state.
