While "normal" conservatives and liberals are, for the most part, defending a status quo of sorts, the neoCons fight their "war" like the "insurgents" that they are. That's a huge advantage.<br /><br />There's also a heck of a lot of sympathy for their mindset (granted, mostly fear-based) out there in the populace. That's why Obama (assuming he's not downright corrupt or fearful for his life, which is by no means out of the question) has skewed so far right militarily thus far.NowhereManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745173041874539711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-46621768852449041972010-03-26T05:52:52.830-05:002010-03-26T05:52:52.830-05:00disaffected,

LOL.<br /><br />Regarding violence and the coming/current unraveleing of the political center: a co-worker and I were discussing this very matter on one of our daily long walk sabbaticals (unpaid advertisement: long daily walks [1 hr +] are the single best thing you will EVER do for yourself), and we both agreed that the current tenuous center is about to violently explode.<br /><br />I found this remarkable, in that she, unlike I, is a relatively "sane" middle of the road "conservative" (in the old fashioned meaning of the word), with all of the traditional extended family and societal connections etc. that I have since forsaken.<br /><br />In the end, that will probably be the first "real" sign to most of us that something radically different is afoot (absent radical overnight - possibly catastrophic - change, which is also a distinct possibility).<br /><br />In other words, if you're trying to predict the next 8.0 seismic event of whatever nature, stay connected to those who are particularly attuned to the 4.0's to tell you its coming.NowhereManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745173041874539711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-10696992855040507692010-03-25T17:02:18.554-05:002010-03-25T17:02:18.554-05:00disaffected,

Far more likely that they'll declare HCR a domestic terror plot and arrest and torture all the Dems in congress. Its gonna be real fun if/when the GOP regains control of the government.

She took no shit whatsoever from the little cocksucker!) justifying GOP supporters' threats of and actual violence against Dem lawmakers for their support of HCR. If this shit keeps up, MOMCOM's gonna be put in the awkward position of having to designate its own supporters as domestic terrorists and take action. I love it. Civil war can't be far off now.
