This will not end well.
Extremism, both on the left and right, is on the rise.

Whether it ends well or not so long as the rebublican and democratic parties are destroyed it will end well.
Hmm... :D

Are you seriously saying that you live in a democracy PS?
Do you really think it's BAD that people vote for socialism in France and Greece?
I find more scarier the rise of the xenophobe, nazi and all the like all over Europe (in the States they are already arised...).
Don't call me white...

@pythrr
Well, mostly on the right...

Greece and the T party is a reasonable analogy, as both are extreme politics. But the new french president is just left wing, just socialist. No where near as extreme as you other two citations.
But hard times do engender extemism, it can be seen time and again through history. usually the reasonable people wake up and sort it out if it gets too bad. but not always.
Worrying indeed.

I would not be opposed to seeing the demise of the republican and democratic parties as we know them today. A little revolution now and then is a healthy thing.

in the end I bet Obama is still president.

Pure comedy gold! Stephen Colbert would be proud! Keep up the good work. I love the politics/comedy breaks in these blogs.
