The end of rational discourse
August 11, 2009 on 6:09 am | In fucking americans, politics | 1 CommentAn excellent article… one could almost trace this alliance of ignorance and self-interest back to Nixon and the “New South” but it certainly has reached a shrill note in the age of Palin. I’ve been concerned about these radical elements since Obama has become president, and while he has yet to live up to his promise (despite the dyspeptic contradicting labels of “socialist” and “fascist”)…. the stew of irrational hate is brewing. Are we in for another Oklahoma City, or worse? These are the convulsions of empire at it’s end, the death throes of democracy, and an “all bets are off” power grab from those who will do and say anything to consolidate their hold on the world and it’s dwindling resources. Fact is only an inconvenient obstacle that can be manipulated, marginalized, or fabricated to serve this end.
