The Basic Republican Defect
Corrupt reasons aside, the fundamental flaw with conservatives and (ergo) Republicans is their whole strategy stems from micro-economic issues. Society's "impositions" on the business owner. The protection of freedoms for the redneck. The defense of the rabid morals of the local (white) church. Their dim, cynical minds distrust any "complexer" theory aimed at society as a whole. Like a severely mentally handicapped soul, their understanding is limited to one-for-one inputs and outputs. With a little raked off the top for their own efforts, of course. As society grows ever more complex, they become ever more and more irrelevant. Hence the "thrashing around" they're doing now desperately seeking simplistic one-liner "catch-all" arguments that don't exist. You know... "Guns don't kill people..." etc.

HA! Heh...that post was both funny, acerbic, and all too true, unfortunately. Keep up the good, sardonically sarcastic work.
The Republicans should be tossed out on their collective ears in the mid-term 2010 elections, but sadly, too many voters in this country have gotten drunk on the Tea Partyish kool-aid of denial, dismissiveness, and deceptive crapola the Repugnantlicans just keep dishing out, to the detriment and attempted malign reversal of progressive policies we so urgently need to move forward, in their juvenile efforts to renew and preserve their erotic fantasies about the simplistic, conformist 1950's (or at least their amnesiac version thereof).
Good work! The neo-con complex is to be critiqued and repulsed at all costs. Feh on 'dem, those silly fucking boneheads!!! 8^}
