The political right in America and the ruin of America

The political right in America has taken great strides towards not only the destruction of their own ideology, but towards the ruin of the America. The political right in this country has decided that they will pair their so called “fiscal responsibility” with the crazy religious fucktardedness of people like Michelle Bachman, and the loose flop sweat that is Mitt Romney. They openly embrace a policy of “bomb the shit out of all those people over there!”, and they have the giant brass testicles it takes to tell a man, who is directly responsible for the murder of over three hundred people, that he has not killed enough people. They use phrases like “support the troops” as an excuse to send our brothers and sisters to die on a foreign shore.

The political right has fully embraced the persecution complex of their Christian followers. They are attempting to reduce every political and social interaction to a battle between man and “God”. This group has successfully, and maliciously, pushed entire portions of the population to embrace ignorance. We can see this not only in senators who blatantly deny science, to the lay people who do not understand how snow melts. I fully lay the responsibility for the crazy nut case bull shit that people like David Icke preach at the feet of the religious conservative right.  By encouraging the rejection of the scientific method, and by attempting to manipulate people through an emotional attachment to a particular god, they have lent legitimacy to insanity.

The Republican Party likes to claim to be the party that stands for gun rights, they appeal to the tradition of rebellion and anti-tyranny that is prevalent in our society. Yet the more recent history of their leaders and spokesmen shows the lie. I mentioned Reagan in my last post but he is of special importance to this one, Ronald Reagan is often mentioned with such glee that he is nearly deified.  He is a paragon of economic salvation, a paladin against liberal gun grabbers, a savior of democracy the world over, and oh yeah he also passed California’s first real gun control law, and oh yeah it was racially motivated, and then he gave guns to… uh… ya know… terrorists… but yeah he saved America! Seriously here kids, let’s work on the consistency. Not only was Reagan a gun grabber, but the NRA has a history of back peddling and flip flopping on the issues that surround guns. The NRA has backed gun registration, limits on the types of firearms one can own, and has changed position multiple times on open carry rules. “Guns from my cold dead hands” my ass.

The other way that the conservative right has ruined things for Americans today is through imperialism. They, along with the collective right, have pushed us into wars, they have pushed a police state down our throats all in the name of “the kids”, or “freedom”. We live in a world made less safe by terrorists that our government trained and armed, we send our brothers and sisters to fight and die against people we incited to violence. We live in a time where the actions of the conservative right have lead to our being eight times more likely to be killed by a cop than by a terrorist. The drug war has led to some of the most heinous crimes perpetrated against Americans since riots of the nineteen sixties. This was not done to us at the whim of the state, this was done with the full support of the right(both the conservatives and the collectivists).

TL:DR

Do not fall prey to the rhetoric of the Right, do not be afraid of science, do not fall into the trap of their gun rhetoric. These people are not your friends, they are not allies of freedom, they are liars.
