You know... I've just come to realize what bugs me most about the Deep State.
The ostensibly conservative members of same.
For year, DECADES, they have been mouthing conservative platitudes and principles that I shared, or thought I shared. They often touted these great principles with an elegance I truly appreciated. It's why I followed and listened to these pundits. They appeared to be walking the same path as me. (Some flat out lied and were stone cold socialists this whole time.)
But always there was a higher priority with them. An agenda that superseded those stated principals. The conservative Deep State had other principals. Unstated because they knew those positions would not go over well with their allies. Private principals that often contradicted their stated ones.
"Oh, you just SAID you supported the 2nd Amendment, and you are fine with instituting a Great Britain regime here? Oh, you just SAID you were against abortion, but you are all for taxpayer money fully funding Planned Parenthood abortion mills?"
The abortion part is just an example. That's not my issue. I just notice the disconnect, the dissonance.
So it's a betrayal as well as hypocrisy. It's all just so galling. I hope one of their cruise ships hits an iceberg.
The Conservatives have conserved nothing. They never intended to.
ReplyDeleteJoe McCarthy and the Birchers were right. How can I tell? Because they are *still* loudly proclaimed to be the enemies of everything good and holy - by the enemies of everything good and holy.
Think of it this way - all of the federal employees, especially Congress, work for Big Government, Inc. There are two competing divisions, Republican and Democrat, but they both have their primary loyalty to Big Government, Inc. They could not care less about the customers (us).
ReplyDeleteThe various commentators and pundits are actually vendors to Big Government. They also don't care about us at all - what they care about is selling their product (themselves) to BGI.
Maybe it is not a perfect analogy, but works for me.
