Thug life

I've watched a good bit of the Republican convention so far. And beyond their disdain for government (unless it's fighting wars or serving the ultra wealthy), I've taken away the following messages:

Drill, baby, drill (on engergy policy)

Kill, baby, kill (on foreign policy)

Burn, baby, burn (on environmental policy)

Loot, baby, loot (on economic policy)

The party of the extreme right has fully embraced its well-established track record: thuggish, ignorant, uncaring, shallow, immature, and nihiistic.
