Wait… What?
Guerrilla tactics? For the insurgent ruling party? How can a ruling party be ‘insurgent’? How can they employ ‘guerrilla’ tactics, if they are in charge?
Well, what else would you call 11 pipe bombs (so far) to the members of the party not at all in power? Particularly of interest to me are the pipe bombs sent to President Obama and Secretary Clinton, both of whom willfully acknowledged constitutional rules and norms and stepped away from the arena. Why even target them? It’s not like Julius Ceasar out of power raising and training an army to seize power…
If politics were actually the game people think it is, it can be said that the Republicans have won it. They have the House. They have the Senate. They have the Supreme Court. They have the Presidency. Yea, they cheated to get to rule… but they are ruling. So why 11 pipe bombs to those members of a party who are not in power? Indeed, why, in particular, to two individuals who have actively renounced power?
Further evidence, in any further were needed, that the Right is not satisfied with what they have and are demanding — and will demand — even more. And that is not an encouraging thought… When the time comes… are they going to follow the example of Obama and relinquish power or that of Clinton and recognize political defeat?? These are the questions arising from all the bombs themselves and the particular presence of those two pipe bombs, amongst the others.

It will be interesting to see how the apparent perpetrator is handled by the GOP. His arrest puts to rest the false-flag nonsense.
This was a terrorist attack by yet another right-wing terrorist. The question will be whether the GOP treats it as such.
