Why "Lunatic Fringe"? Because about 30 people are holding hostage the function of our government, cowing those who should know better.
Lunatic Fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings

Cause you gotta blame someone
For your own confusion
Yes, I know the song is a rebuke of neo-Nazis, and yes I know about Godwin's Law but Ted Cruz went there first. I'm not saying the Tea Party should be compared to Nazis, I'm just saying their minority ideology is a cancerous fifth column that threatens the Republic. How? Let's review:
1. The legislative branch passed the ACA.
2. The executive branch signed it into law.
3. The judicial branch upheld it as constitutional.
That's a constitutional hat trick, and it's the law of the land*.
