The Conservative Who Cried "Wolf!"

[DeistPaladin]

Politics is f*cked. America is f*cked. Debate is over. Welcome to the post-American dark age. It's all about damage control from here.

I don't entirely disagree with this assessment but what is screwing us is the big lie that makes all the little lies possible.

What is the big lie? It's summed up in four words: "Both sides do it".

It's the last line of defense for the GOP and their pseudo-centrist enablers in the corporate controlled media. Whenever the GOP is caught being criminal, incompetent, or abusive, the pseudo-centrists swing into action to diffuse responsibility. Just listen for it. You will hear these two words spoken over and over: "both sides".

The big lie covers for the GOP and prevents them from being held accountable by society at large for the fact that they have completely lost their collective minds. When they are in power, as in the W administration, they wreck everything in sight and pillage what they can. When they are out of power, as with this administration, they shut down and sabotage. And all the way, they have enablers in the corporate media writing horseshit like this:

[The Righteous Mind] shows why liberals, conservatives, and libertarians have such different intuitions about right and wrong, and he shows why each side is actually right about many of its central concerns.

Great. It sounds like more weeping of salty tears over the "bitter partisan divide" in our nation, how "Washington is broken" and "the extremes on both sides" are tearing our nation apart. Thanks anyway but we get plenty of this horseshit in our daily dose of corporate media talking heads.

The problem is with conservatism. The problem is with the GOP. They lied us into a war. They wrecked our economy. They funneled massive wealth to the top 1%. Until they are completely driven from power, we will continue our downward spiral.
