Call ‘em what you will, conservatives, reactionaries, or republicans. They’re all of either of one or possibly both stripes: Well-heeled, greedy control freaks or ignorant, paranoid bigots. I know, I know; I’m stereotyping and profiling but the truth is the truth! On the one hand its all about free markets, deregulation,macho military, and privization of everything while on the other its god, guns, gays, and the 3 Ps(prayer, pledge, and paddle) for those still in school. Face it. The elites of this bunch are nothing but neo-fascists while their foot soldiers bare obliging dupes who will work tirelessly towards their own demise as long as they can be made to feel superior to some current scapegoat.

What an irony that these people willingly expose
their stupidity and shameful ignorance. Joe pine
use to have a ball with people like them, the only
difference is he just picked on the weak and
unconnected.

PatrickHenry: Doesn’t Dicko have a pacemaker? And if so, why not expose him to the Raethon microwave weapon developed during the reign of terror from the Bush years of fear and terror they inflicted upon others. Why not try it out on the very people who are so hellbent on making more types of weapons to use on people everywhere in their insane attempts to make America a world wide empire. Or the NWO or PNAC member where a few of the insane who are/were in a position of power to try to make their own version of the world in their just way they want it to be. Problem with that is, will they keep enough of the peons who actually know how to provide the services they will need to survive in their own little Eden.

I can see it now, these don’t know how to do anything whiners trying to support themselves when they haven’t a clue as to how survive without others doing it for them.

Point taken, I do try to live by that abstract.

Two objections, PatrickHenry, with all due respect:

(1) I don’t believe in waterboarding anyone—not even Dick Cheney (“what you would not like done unto yourself, do not unto others”—Confucius);

(2) I doubt his weak heart could stand it.

Is this the same justice department whose lawyers under Gonzales said that torture wasn’t against the law thereby effectively letting Cheney off the hook?

I still think Cheney should be waterboarded to find out what he knows about 9/11.

Funny how Prescott Bush is classified as a decent Republican. Wasn’t he the same Prescott Bush who aided Hitler? Yes, he was. There is nothing decent about him. And as for Liz’s rant, she must include her father as an accessory in the Pentagon attack in which he made our American interceptor aircraft to stand down so America became a sitting target for the terrorists, just as he planned it. Otherwise why make our military stand down? He is more guilty than those Liz accuses because Dick actually was a part of the terrorists acts against America.

If Liz were honest with herself, a strange concept for Republicans, she would see her father for the terrorists he is. Keep America safe? Lock up daddy, his cronies and associates who went about continuing the fear mongering and terrorism from 9-11-2001 onward.

Methinks Dick Cheney wants daughter Liz to be the first female president (or at least the first female GOP president—Sarah Palin be damned) and cement his poisonous legacy as a totalitarian and neocon Israel-idolater.

With today’s media, you have to go far afield to score negative points of credibility, or wax almost insanely ludicrous with distortions and charges that get negative notice.

I liked especially the Rachel Maddow mocking rant that traced Liz Cheney’s “Joe-McCarthy-like” list of suspects and associates of al Qaeda terrorists to a circle that finally encompassed Liz and Dick themselves.

It is often the case that the cycle of abuse, corruption and deception often so emboldens their purveyors that arrogance takes over – the belief of superiority in intellect and the belief of being “bullet-proof” that often accompanies it.

It finally sank the Bush administration, Tom DeLay and Cheney associates like Scooter Libbey. Liz Cheney’s strident arrogance and her demonizing rant was followed by a network of criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, but it took the former to awaken the corporate media to Liz Cheney’s paranoid parsing. The corporate media usually embraces progressive criticism, or at very least, ignores it.

When will responsible conservatives do the same to other blowhards who lie, distort, and deceive, with the intention of demonizing enemies:  all progressives but mainly Obama. Some remarks and songs are racist, some hate-inducing, and perhaps some even inciting violence.

Whom do I have in mind?

Just turn on Fox Noise and Clear Channel stations – you know—and listen.
