Right-wing
extremists are the first to wave flags and pretend how much they
believe in the Constitution and yet, they constantly whine and
complain we can't trust the government. Apparently, they were asleep
at the wheel during civics class, when the rest of us learned we the
people are the government.
How many times must we endure Sean
Hannity and Rush Limbaugh blather on and on about how we can't trust
our own selves, the government? We can't trust ourselves with tax
dollars, we can't trust ourselves with health care and we most
certainly can't trust us the government, to decide a convicted felon
shouldn't be armed to the teeth with every bazooka-type weapon
imaginable.
Apparently, the so-called conservative "right"
can't even get our own Constitution right. The idea of democracy is
not to openly condemn ourselves by claiming we can't trust the
government. Rather, the idea is to elect leaders to represent us
and, to replace them when they instead, become right-wing corporate
stooges and vote against our best interests.
Any and every use of taxpayer dollars that will actually benefit taxpaying citizens is branded as "socialism" over and over again, the new all-purpose "red scare" bait-and-switch term of the 21st Century. The now entirely discredited Joe McCarthy appears "fair and balanced" alongside these Savage Nation and Coulter forty-five toting, hate-mongering megalomaniacs.
Education is supposedly high on the right-wing "safe issue" list, but conservative legislators consistently vote against increased spending for education. Whatever they can't eliminate because of political popularity, such as Medicare and Social Security, they try to "privatize" into oblivion, creating huge funding black holes designed to funnel trillions of taxpayer dollars into big pharma and other deep corporate pockets.
Wise regulation is the reason banks were relatively sound under Eisenhower. While deregulation is obviously why they began their substantially crooked turn for the worse under Reagan and were completely controlled by gilded-age mongrels of mass deception by the time Bush Junior was finished cutting a final slice out of the deregulation corporate mega-pie.
Is branding human beings "illegal" and blaming them for job losses and contagious diseases any different than what gave rise to Adolf Hitler and Auschwitz? What is the real agenda of slave masters? What is the agenda of pure evil?
What is the real right-wing agenda? You decide.
