Oh those wacky whackos!

Greetings good citizen,

If we were to look at ‘modern conservatism’ rationally we would see some pretty disturbing psychology at work.

Psychology that the opposition would defend as ‘hardball tactics’, necessitated by an overwhelming desire to ‘win’.

Worse good citizen calling them on their use of hardball tactics has proven ineffective.

They howl that exposing their lies is ‘unfair’ (but that doesn’t stop them from telling more lies!)

Um, had an incident yesterday that opened my eyes to just how serious the ‘legislative auto pilot’ situation has become.

Part of living in a democracy is ‘the process’ where legislation is debated before it is enacted.

I had to attend a mandatory meeting as a family member is in the process of getting a driver’s license.

What do you suppose the purpose of that meeting was?

Why, they are compelled to ‘update’ my knowledge of the motor vehicle laws as they apply to ‘Junior Operators’.

I had to attend this meeting BECAUSE ALL of this (decidedly draconian) legislation was enacted WITHOUT any public debate! (I suppose this is what we get for voting down the seat belt law 4 times by a better than 2 to 1 margin…and we got a seat belt law anyway!)

So, are the Nazis among us just flying under radar as Republicans or have their corporate overlords become increasingly intolerant of ‘dissent’?

The oddball part of the above question is how do you tell the difference between a Nazi and a Republican and the answer is ‘I don’t know!’

Worse, the two are creepily similar in ideology; both are rabid capitalist-corporatists.

But we digress…

As the article states, those ‘wacky whackos’ are alienating their base, so who are they ‘really’ and what are they up to?

Answer to the first question is they are ‘the media’ (the corporate owned media to be specific, which is not to say they don’t pay handsomely for their ‘web presence’.)

(They are nothing if not thorough!)

If the public doesn’t support the corpratist agenda then it is up to the media to ‘manufacture’ that support and ‘modern conservatism’ is the end result.

It doesn’t matter if there are any real people behind say The Tea Party; it is the perception that such foolishness enjoys widespread support that matters.

We all know the Emperor is naked but the Emperor’s publicist has turned a deaf ear. He pretends that we are buying the bullshit and the insanity keeps coming!

Understand what I’m saying. Under the current ‘puppet government’ arrangement we suffer, reality doesn’t matter, only perception.

If they can make YOU believe that half of the country is completely nuts then they win!

Worse, you hear this conservative bullcrap repeated everywhere (most of the time by people who are saying it just to see how other react!)

When people hear ‘ordinary people’ saying the same thing the media spews, it lends the idea credibility!

There are still people who are convinced that President Obama is a Muslim and he wasn’t born in the US…but they aren’t doing anything about it!

Which is to belabor the obvious, all of the urging in the world isn’t going to get you to take up arms against the criminals. It will be the threat to you and yours that drives you to fight.

But as long as you remain convinced that more than half of us are ‘whacko’ (Because ‘somebody’ is voting Republican!) you won’t step up and defend your rights.

Once you realize The Media ARE the Republicans, you’ll do the right thing.

Thanks for letting me inside your head,

Gegner

Update: seems I'm not the only one pointing a finger at the media
