Coming: American Revolution 2.0

Oh the saboteurs. The saboteurs are right in front of us.

Thomas Frank’s Indictment Of Conservatism

Hang around with grassroots conservative voters in Kansas, and in the main you will find them to be honest, hardworking people.

But put conservatism in charge of the state, and it behaves very differently. Now the “values” that rightist politicians eulogize on the stump disappear, and in their place we can discern an entirely different set of priorities—priorities that reveal more about the unchanging historical essence of American conservatism than do its fleeting campaigns against gay marriage or secular humanism. Conservative’s leaders laugh off the idea of the public interest as airy-fairy nonsense; they caution against bringing top-notch talent into government service; they declare war on public workers. They have made a cult of outsourcing and privatizing, they have wrecked established federal operations because they disagree with them, and they have deliberately piled up an Everest of debt in order to force the government into crisis. The ruination they have wrought has been thorough; it has been a professional job.

Emphasis added by me.

How much more evidence needs to be piled up?

The voters in this country are like the Germans who lived next to the death camps and claimed ignorance of what was happening behind the barbed wire and gun towers.

When it all falls — and it will, because it is inevitable, because they have sabotaged it to fall! — how many morons will go on killing sprees murdering the scapegoats they’ve been taught to blame over the past three decades?

While the saboteurs laugh behind their gates and Blackwater guards!
