It's been a really bad week for conservatives.

Here is the list I have compiled just from the top of my head:

-- Dylan Roof linked to conservatism and Republicans
-- Confederate flags coming down
-- Republican racism exposed
-- Gun control back on the agenda
-- Obamacare ruling
-- Gay marriage ruling
-- TPA/TAA (although most Republicans like this, most conservatives dont)
-- President Obama's "Amazing Grace" speech (they cant stand it when he gets positive attention)

I have been listening to RW radio during my morning and evening commute and the are just freaking out and pissed off angry. They think nothing is going right for them now.. and they are correct.

according to polls. No 'crocodile tears' from those guys. Maybe from some other republicans.

It's because of their own lifestyle choice.

Marriage equality: Not just a good idea, it's the law! But we need to be sure to love the lawless while hating their lawlessness.

What happened to it? A few years ago, I couldn't find anything else on AM. Now all I get when driving across country at night is Jesus and country music that sounds like bad rock n roll.

these guys know they're part of the smokescreen, and they achieved their objective - jacking up the red state base over social issues while the TPP slid through

on Facebook. They were vocal before the decision, but sure are quiet now. They don't know how to deal with the rest of us who joined yesterday's Rainbow Explosion, and I'm sure they are surprised at who/how many there are.

That will influence them more than anything FAUX/Drudge/RW Radio will spew.
