The Big Con
I ran across this sort of combination book review and excerpt on the website of the New York Times. It explains perfectly what I have been trying to explain for years - that the Republican party has been taken over by corrupt neo-fascists and whack jobs, whose agenda has nothing to do with fiscal responsibility or even conservatism.
“I have this problem. Whenever I try to explain what’s happening in American politics-I mean, what’s really happening-I wind up sounding a bit like an unhinged conspiracy theorist. But honestly, I’m not. My politics are actually quite moderate. (Most real lefties, in fact, think I’m a Washington establishment sellout.) So please give let me a chance to explain myself when I tell you the following: American politics has been hijacked by a tiny coterie of right-wing economic extremists, some of them ideological zealots, others merely greedy, a few of them possibly insane. (Stay with me.)”
