And what a pity that is.  A false conservative-liberal fight distracts attention from the growing police state that is destroying civil liberties for all Americans.  It obscures the real motives of policies in behalf of special interests that are leading to nuclear confrontation with Russia and China.

What is wrecking America is not conservatives, but a neoconservative ideology of US hegemony.

What is wrecking America is the "impeachment-is-off-the-table" twins, Nancy Pelosi and John Conyers.

What is wrecking America is the Democratic Party, which was put in control of the House and Senate in the 2006 congressional elections to stop the gratuitous wars and gestapo police, but, instead, has continued to cooperate with the Cheney/Bush regime in behalf of war and police repression, such as we witnessed at the Republican National Convention.

Frank's book, "The Wrecking Crew" falls into the scapegoat category of blaming the innocent and irrelevant.  The Democrat Party could impeach Cheney/Bush and cut off funding for the wars and corrupt military contracts.  But they do nothing and get a free pass from Frank.

"The Wrecking Crew" does have one virtue.  Frank shows that the Republicans have spawned a new generation of brownshirts that lust to imprison, torture, and kill people.  These ignorant bloodthirsty thugs see enemies everywhere and fervently desire to nuke them all. The Republican brownshirts are equally willing to kill American critics of the Bush regime as to kill Taliban and al Qaeda.


The latest "enemy" is Russia.  The Bush regime, complicit in its Georgian puppet's war crimes against South Ossetia, is attempting to hide its responsibility for ethnic cleansing by demonizing Russia.  With every threat the Bush regime issues against Russia, the  war drums beat louder.  Yet, the print and TV media and Democratic Party have jumped on the war wagon.

The rapture evangelicals and the neocons are euphoric at the prospect of nuclear war.

Frank's misguided barrage at conservatives, who are a brake on war and the police state, hastens end times.
