I was right

I think that it is now quite obvious that the underlying character of far right wing ideologues is a paranoid structure. Read back to my prior blogs to see a deeper analysis of this tendency.

The righties are really showing their true colors now - desperation has bred overly paranoid fantasies about the Obama administrations motives-- they have calledhim a fascist, they have said this is the biggest power grab in US history, they have been discussing dictatorship. What a bunch of hogwash. These accusations of course completely ignore the quite clear undermining of the constituation by their own Bush administration (see the John Yoo memos, downing street memos). These memos have just continued to demonstrate that the Bush administration prepared the groundwork for suspending the bill of rights (1, 4, and 5 at least)

It is irritating me to no end that these issues continue to be largely ignored, minimized, and completely uninvestigated and prosecuted. WHY, WHY???

Again, I will reiterate that if democrats investigate this their own complicity will become revealed. So democrats can't do it or they will have to indict themselves (at least some of the leadership).

It is so interesting that suddenly Cheney, Ashcroft, Gingrich, Rove are all coming out of their holes to try to rally the GOP troops that are clearly at a loss.

For example, Steele's claim today that his statements all follow a preconceived plan so he can see his place on the chessboard and where the enemy is. This is such an amazing and almost crazy claim - he expects us to believe that he orchestrated a conflict with Limbaugh just so he could apologize and look like and idiot and distract from other clealry important issues and the GOPs own need to come up with some kind of solution to the economic crisis.

Well, the choice of Steele was so cynical and perverse to begin with.
How did the GOP go down so hard and completely lose their dominance in the press and propaganda supremecy? I'm not going to try to explain this here - mostly because I really only have limitted guesses - the war, the defecit, the economic disaster, and a continuous serious of bad policy decisions. But I don't think these things in themselves are the real reasons. I think the real reason has something to do with changes in ideology and tolerance of the subjegation of reason (though I don't think most humans really use reason very well).

The other issue that I thought to write about is to analyze some of Obama's speeches . It certainly appears that he is a true liberal - just as the GOP has alleged. He keeps saying that it will not be until everyone realizes that they contribute to the welfare of everyone else that we will not make progress. I wish I could generate a number of these statements and quote them here, but I don't have the energy to do so right now.
