Zealots, Lunatics, and Fanatics

President Obama is finally learning that zealots, fanatics and lunatics are immune to negotiation.  They only understand power and its applications.  Zealots like Paul Ryan...

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) told CBS' "Face The Nation" Sunday that he believes Obamacare will "destroy" the country's health care system, even though his budget assumes key savings from the law.

"I really believe it's going to destroy the health care system in America," Ryan said. "We believe the law will collapse under its own weight and that people will be eager for alternatives as the gorey details unfold in the future with its implementation."

Lunatics like Kevin McCarthy...

House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) signaled Sunday on NBC's "Meet The Press" that there is no acceptable ratio of spending cuts to new revenues because tax increases are unacceptable to Republicans, period.

"There are no new tax increases because you don't need it," he said.

His exact words to David Gregory?  "You're going to get nothing." 

And then there's fanatics like Orange Julius.

On ABC's "This Week" Sunday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) addressed fellow Sen. Rob Portman's (R-OH) newfound support for same sex marriage, which the senator said was influenced by his son coming out as gay.

Boehner said he appreciates Portman's change of heart, but "can't imagine" that his own opposition to gay marriage would ever change, even if he had a child who was gay.

They will never stop trying to destroy the economy.  They will never stop trying to destroy Obamacare.  They will never stop trying to destroy LGBT rights.  Never.

Why negotiate with them?
