republican conservative madness



NO. I won't tell you where you can buy these. Every now and then I hold my nose and dip into the conservative cess pool. Gotta see what those nazi's are up to....usually, I just can't believe what these people are saying or doing. It is almost incomprehensible that people can distort the truth so badly and not be aware of this.


As a case in point, read the below article. It is unbelievable that tyrants always choose the same course. Anyone who opposes their tyranny must be evil. Anyone who thinks for themselves and asks questions, must be anti-American (in this case). If there is any question that Fascism is alive and well in the United STates, all you have to do is read articles like this one.

Conservative Author Is Seeing Red in America

"Cindy Sheehan: anti-American communist?

That was the accusation coming yesterday from the Heritage Foundation, which hosted author John J. Tierney Jr. for a forum titled "The Politics of Peace: What's Behind the Anti-War Movement?"



Cindy Sheehan's protest was called unprecedented  --  and more.

Tierney researched the movement for a book and came up with some choice descriptions. "I have to say it is communist," he told an audience at the conservative think tank, also describing the groups involved as "revolutionary socialistic" and "cohorts" of North Korea, Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro's Cuba. "We're really dealing with . . . a comprehensive, exhaustive, socialistic anti-capitalistic political structure," he said..."

"...Tierney singled out Sheehan, whose son died in Iraq and who camped out at President Bush's ranch this month to protest the war. "I've never heard of a woman protesting a war in front of a leader's home in my life," he said. "I've never heard of anything quite so outrageous.".."

OUTRAGEOUS?

A grieving mother asks why he son was sacrificed in a war that is based on demonstrable lies, and she is pilleried by the "Patriotic" citizens.

In fact, this is eerily similar to September 11, 2001. We are attacked by a small group of Saudi citizens, and how do we respond? We attack a country that had nothing to do with this. Rather than addressing the reasons why we were attacked, we go kill innoncent people.

Well, here we have the same set of 'moral principles'. If a citizen asks questions, you don't seek to find answers, you attack the innocent person that dared to point out that the Emporer may be naked.

As the American economy falters, oil prices shoot through the roof and beyond, the bloated national deficit comes due, and the republicans finish sacking the US Treasury leaving the country in desperate financial straights, we will find the strangle hold of conservatives and some fundamentalist christian groups will tighten around the throat of America. A failing political system, and for that matter, religious system, will react to its own pending demise by becoming more violent and obsessive. As the American situation worsens, we can expect more fundamentalist straight jackets to come out of the closets. Everyone will be expected to wear their jacket, proclaim the singular glory of one fractured speciman of christianity, sing the praises of one political ideology, and march in goose step behind our leaders.

Count on it. You think theTerry Schiavo mess was bad, these people haven't finished destroying all semblance of democracy yet...but they're working on it.
