Straussianism and the other circular self justifications explained that to me. Oh! I said to myself, they are operating under the happy illusion that they have a RIGHT to lie, cheat and steal because they are so special. Perhaps they found a decoder ring in their Cheerios.
This is the Connect the Dots Moment.
First, it must have struck you that many of these people have odd personal habits. You know what I mean. This shocking and appalling revelations about Bob Allen, David Vitter, Mark Foley, Glenn Murphy, Jr., Tommy Tester, Ted Haggard illustrate that appalling point. These, and others, including George W. himself are known to have habits that make a Scarlett A kindergarten stuff. Yet they were elected as Republicans to oversee the growing role government has taken unto its bosom; That stated role is to mind our morals along with our money.
That in itself makes you pause. Goldwater would never have recognized these people as Conservatives. They would have made his trigger finger itch, I suspect. They stole the term, “Conservative,” too. Minor larceny when all their other crimes are considered.
With those habits rectitude is not in the operating rules – so why are there so many of these people with strange personal habits in positions of responsibility, in and out of Congress, associated with Bush Co.?
Two separate points here.
A statistically significant percentage of those associated with Bush Co. have personal habits that, if discovered, would kept them from being elected.
These people have been reliable supporters of Bush Co. policies that put a fast forward on canceling the Bill of Rights.
Do these two observed phenomena, connected by those in power, connect logically? Yup.
