Noam Chomsky Says GOP Is 'Literally A Serious Danger To Human SurvivalThe MIT professor and noted author said "strategic voting" can keep Republican candidates away from the levers of power.
Noam Chomsky, the noted radical and MIT professor emeritus, said the Republican Party has become so extreme in its rhetoric and policies that it poses a serious danger to human survival.
Today, the Republican Party has drifted off the rails, Chomsky, a frequent critic of both parties, said in an interview Monday with The Huffington Post. Its become what the respected conservative political analysts Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein call a radical insurgency that has pretty much abandoned parliamentary politics.
Chomsky cited a 2013 article by Mann and Ornstein published in Daedalus, the journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, analyzing the polarization of the parties. The authors write that the GOP has become ideologically extreme, scornful of facts and compromise, and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.
Chomsky said the GOP and its presidential candidates are literally a serious danger to decent human survival and cited Republicans' rejection of measures to deal with climate change, which he called a looming environmental catastrophe. All of the top Republican presidential candidates are either outright deniers, doubt its seriousness or insist no action should be taken -- dooming our grandchildren, Chomsky said.

Hold on, Mama Grizzly. People have been questioning Tracks service record ever since he returned from the military. A rumor that dogs him is the courts gave him the choice of the military or jail, after he allegedly cut the brakes on a school bus. Given the choice, he enlisted in 2007.
Track deployed with the Armys Alaska-based 25th Infantry Divisions 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, fittingly known as the Arctic Wolves.
Jason Kirell is one of the soldiers who served with Track. Here is how he responded to a question about whether or not he saw combat:
Kirell Served With Palin.
Yes, the military awarded Track a combat service medal for his Iraq tour, but a form is circulating on Twitter brings the merit of that medal into question:
