The right wing movement needs to be destroyed

[Pushed To The Left]

It's just that simple. The hardcore conservative movement is wrecking the country. Even if they are in power, we can still do some damage control and make it as hard as humanly possible for them to do what they are trying to do. This beast called radical conservatism is ripping apart the country piece by piece. If we can't kill it, we can injure it and slow it down. We can damage it any way that we can. Any damage we can do to the radical right-wing movement will help to prevent damage to our great country.

1. We're with you

The far right is killing this country in every way. They worship the rich and damn the poor, they choose war over peace, they wish to force a 12 year old to bear the child of her rapist father.

They are not an attractive lot.

8. They're at war with themselves on the Right. Most of the damage will be

self inflicted.

The old school fiscal conservatives are up in arms with the runaway spenders and corrupt faction, and with the christian fundamentalists who have hijacked the party.

Plus Bush is doing such a bad job, that he is turning off tons of Republicans. Eventually, at least some of the undeniable failures and betrayals have to be acknowledged, even by the most rabid Kool Aide drinker.

David Brooks was on TV a few weeks ago, saying "sometimes I wonder if George Bush is the Manchurian candidate, who is out to destroy all the principles I believe in as a Conservative" (paraphrasing). He said it on Frontline, or whatever PBS show he does where he appears with Mark Shields (McNeill Lehrer Report maybe).

The only party who is in worse shape than the Democrats, are the Republicans. They are melting down.

3. They seem to be doing a pretty good job

of torching themselves...
so what's a little more gift gasoline from us...
there's just nothing like roasting wingnuts over an open fire.

Feels like victory.

4. They are doing it

keep jacking up the price of their meds...

6. I've come to agree with this

The American Right has created a "crisis of the regime", which is already nearly as virulent as the crisis that preceded the Civil War. And the alternatives before us are stark. Either the Right meets the same fate as the Tories in the Revolution, and the Southern Planter class durting the Civil War--or the Republic perisjes, and the American Experiment is over. How this will occur I don't know--but it *must* occur. One way or another.

7. They need to be relegated back to the fringe

where they belong.

But- the only way to do that is to divest and re-regulate the media.

9. The RW press has given them respect for their radical views

Trying to legitimize those views. Their views are not in the mainstream. Rush, Fox, etc will try to push those views as mainstream but they are not.

Can you imagine the right wingers, like in South Dakota, telling a 12 year old girl that she must bear the child of her rapist father?
Her life is of no import.

10. How can the Bush admin by any definition be Conservative?

That's what kills me.

The language means nothing, it's just labels and they are equally as meaningless.

Somehow, we have to re-discover Truth in this country. Truth today means whatever crap happens to be falling out of their mouth if that person is on their "side".

Not all opinions are equally valid. The one that is backed up by things called facts would be the more valid one.

Taking back control of the media from the corporations would be a good start.


Edit: I do agree there is a subset of the Repub/Right that needs to be excised like the Nazis after WWII, because they are, in fact, Closet Nazis and want to turn the USA into Nazi-land, for want of a better word. To to do this would nullify the constitution, so they can all be hung as traitors as far as I'm concerned.

11. Re: How can the Bush admin by any definition be Conservative?

I think they're considered conservative simply because he has an R after his name. Oh, and he's just crazy enough for many of them.
