I'm laughing hard at you
"Total government control" is a public sector that is 23% of GDP? "Total government control" is a democratically elected majority under a constitutional system that enshrines the rule of law?
You are crazy AND an idiot.
"Dropping the hammer" in this case means no more attempts to compromise with uncompromising assholes. I'm not saying all republicans fit this description, but certainly all tea baggers do.
