infiltrated our government even to its highest echelons with an anti-democratic ideology, they disguise their ideology with phony labels like "Christian" or "patriotic"--when they mean just the opposite--they've wormed their way into our free press and are poisoning peoples' minds with editorials and slantings of the news that carry hidden agendas, they've even gained positions as teachers and school board members, where they work to brainwash young children with their vile ideas, they can be found in every home, in every closet and under every bed in America, and they need to be hunted down, and driven from America's homes and workplaces and government offices, and sent back to...Saudi Arabia...
Only this time it's true. The "communist conspiracy" did not exist. It was a figment of Joe McCarthy's paranoid imagination. But the fascist conspiracy to rule over the rest of us--with the narrow, repressive, anti-democratic views of a tiny minority in league with corporate predators and war profiteers, and to steal our elections, and to destroy all of our democratic institutions and traditions, and to force us into an unjust, heinous war, and to inflict rightwing religion on a majority that rejects it, in violation of the most basic law of the land--is quite real. We see its impacts everyday in the nutso policies of the Bush Junta, and in its echo chamber of the corporate media. We see it in the carnage in Iraq. We see it in the torture and indefinite detention in Guantanamo Bay. We see it in the craziness of teachers having to defend teaching real science. We see it in the vast corruption and massive thievery of the Bush Junta--so incredibly destructive of our national security. We see it in our inability to dislodge extraordinarily corrupt office holders, and our inability to influence the war profiteering corporate news monopolies toward more balanced news and opinion. They are here. They have infiltrated. They are entrenched. And in their private-channel emails, they were plotting the takeover of our justice system, so that no one could prosecute them for their crimes, and so that they could cover up yet more stolen elections.
The rightwing has BECOME the "communist conspiracy." They have become that which they railed against, in their torrid imaginations, in the 1950s and through the 1980s. They have become UNAMERICAN--i.e. desirous of imposing their ideas on the rest of us without debate, by devious means or by force.
So, yeah, if Congressional committees want to give them a tough going over, I'd be for it. But we don't have to make things up, like McCarthy did. All we have to do is stick to the facts and they're toast.
And the reason they don't like the sound of that, is that they know what jerks they've been.
The karma has come back, and its biting them in the ass. Sweet karma!
