Radical Right: "First, we'll bankrupt the Treasury."

[Stephanie]

We'll drain the Treasury and stuff the money in our pockets via tax cuts and war profiteering.

Then, we'll use the bankrupt Treasury as an excuse to eliminate every social justice program in the federal government. Let the hungry go hungry! Let the sick be sick! Let the elderly go to hell!

Once we've re-established a feudal society, what's next for the radical right? Where do we go from here?

1. This is exactly

what Grover Norquist meant when he said that their goal was to shrink government down small enough so that they "could drown it in a bath tub."

It's been their plan all along........

[Fovea]

5. But Grover and his boys do not want to drown it in the tub

they want to hold it down and fondle its genitals
until they get everything they ask from it.

7. forgot about that part n/t

12. God!

3. America becomes...

4. First we apoint a King.

8. Norquist forgets the obvious: Civil unrest

The republicans had no choice but to enact the new deal. They knew damned well that people would only stand for so much suffering before the government was overthrown by force. They don't want to face the grim facts about why things are the way they are.

13. I think they know

The Patriot Act is to control Americans when they figure out how badly we've been screwed.

9. "The Republican's Secret Sinister Plan"

This guy has an interesting take on things:

http://fixco1.com/bushplan.html

snip...

...I have developed a theory that I call "The Republican's Secret Sinister Plan" and I have come up with thirteen stages that I believe are being followed by Bush and the Republicans in Congress. Following are the thirteen stages of "The Republican's Secret Sinister Plan" with a special note about a critical approaching stage:

Stage one is controlling the members of their own Republican Party.

Stage two is infiltrating, influencing, and manipulating the members of the Democratic Party.

Stage three is using the media to confuse and manipulate the American people to gain their support (votes).

Stage four is to monopolize and build existing wealth concentrations by shifting the tax burden from investors to workers, de-regulating businesses, and passing free trade deals.

Stage five is weaken the power of the federal government by selling off it's assets, limit it's revenues, and privatize it's operations.

Stage six is to weaken and ultimately dismantle the existing social safety net programs like Social Security, Medicare, Welfare, the minimum wage, the forty hour work week, unemployment benefits, etc.

Stage seven is to rig elections so they their candidate always wins despite how the American people really vote.

Stage eight is to weaken the value of the U.S. currency.

Stage nine, this is the approaching critical stage, is to bankrupt the federal and state governments so that their assets can be acquired for pennies on the dollar.

Stage ten is to divide the population of America between the "haves" (10%) and the "have-nots" (90%) and drive the "have-nots" out of America using any means necessary.

Stage eleven is to reduce the population of the earth by 90% in an effort to limit global warming and to conserve earth's limited resources.

Stage twelve is to replace human workers with smart robot workers.

Stage thirteen is to throw a big party for the 10% of the population that gets to live in the "New World Order".

10. Oh so right Stephanie

and you know what makes your post sweeter? The right wing fascists who monitor us know they have been had by those smarter than them, so they have to go back to the scratch pad. They can fool bubba in Mississippi and Kansas but what to do about all those smartass liberals whose numbers are seemingly growing by the month and most likely will continue to grow when the fuck up constitution hating plans of bastards like norquist are publicized. Wow monitors, kinda makes your future look pretty fucking bleak huh. I guess constitutional liberties suck when you are a conservative moron.

11. The plan is to ruin Democracy

How the hell else can they begin The United Theocratic States of America.

[Stephanie]

14. Or the Corporate Oligarchy of America

15. Bring back slavery--I wouldn't put it past'em

Only this time, blacks won't be the only ones allowed to be kept as slaves. Hispanics, Indians, and especially poor whites would be, too.
Maybe the idea of poor whites being sold into slavery would get the white vote on our side--just to preserve what's left of their freedom!
