| AMERICAN TALIBAN ISSUES ORIGINAL TERROR THREAT |
This newly elected tin foil hat society member downplays his deviant scheme and position, saying he has relatively little influence. But in reality, his efforts have pushed Washington to the brink - Au Contraire, Mon Frère, lets give credit where credit is due, step up and take a bow - your fifteen minutes of fame are here, use them to your full advantage!
Unbeknownst to most Americans, on August 21, 2013, 80 Republican members of the Teahadists group named The American Taliban signed and issued a shameless letter addressed to House Speaker John Boehner which practically begged for the government shutdown of The People’s Government.
In this scathing and informative segment, Rachel Maddow displays a photo of each and every single one of the 80 Representatives who signed this reckless letter while getting an insightful breakdown of the consequences of corrupt gerrymandering which empowers and enables these [nearly all pasty-white-male] radical right wing nut jobs to get away with governing on behalf of a very small and extreme minority - against the interests of the American people at large.
SUICIDE CAUCUS:
Ryan Lizza, writing in The New Yorker, provided a very useful breakdown:
“The members of the suicide caucus live in a different America from the one that most political commentators describe when talking about how the country is transforming. The average suicide-caucus district is 75 percent white, while the average House district is 63 percent white. Latinos make up an average of 9 percent of suicide-district residents, while the over-all average is 17 percent. The districts also have slightly lower levels of education (25 percent of the population in suicide districts have college degrees, while that number is 29 percent for the average district).
The members themselves represent this lack of diversity. Seventy-six of the members who signed the Meadows letter are male. Seventy-nine of them are white.
As with Meadows, the other suicide-caucus members live in places where the national election results seem like an anomaly. Obama defeated Romney by four points nationally. But in the 80 suicide-caucus districts, Obama lost to Romney by an average of 23 points. The Republican members themselves did even better. In these 80 districts, the average margin of victory for the Republican candidate was 34 points.

| GERRYMANDERING ALLOWS THIS HOSTAGE TAKING OPERATION TO TAKE FRUITION |
In short, these 80 members represent an America where the population is getting whiter, getting dumber, where there are few major cities, where Obama took the biggest hit in voting during the last election cycle, and where the tin foil hat society is becoming more dominant and less popular [via gerrymandering, see map above].

I applaud the latter list of GOPers, the true domestic terrorists, the ones in the Meadows letter, may a thousand sand fleas infest your pubic region!
How much longer will the American people have to endure - at every debt ceiling crises , this gun to our heads - do what we say mentality? Indeed the worst threat to our land is -The GOP’s Domestic Right Wing Extremists.
Hitler was Germany's worst enemy, similarly, the American Taliban is our worst enemy, were the plan or modus operandi is to use the government and its citizens to further a fucked up ideology and agenda. Not on my watch! Stand your ground Mr. President!
For those who signed the Meadows letter, congratulations, you 80 are this weeks worst people in the world.
