WHAT IS THE REAL
RIGHT-WING
AGENDA?
Right-wing extremists are the first to wave flags and pretend how much they believe in the Constitution and yet, they
constantly whine and complain we can't trust the government. Apparently, they were asleep at the wheel during
civics class, when the rest of us learned we the people are the government.
How many times must we endure Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh blather on and on about how we can't trust our own selves,
the government? We can't trust ourselves with tax dollars, we can't trust ourselves with health care and we
most certainly can't trust us the government, to decide a convicted felon shouldn't be armed to the teeth
with every bazooka-type weapon imaginable.
Apparently, the so-called conservative "right" can't even get our own Constitution right. The idea of democracy is
not to openly condemn ourselves by claiming we can't trust the government. Rather, the idea is to elect leaders
to represent us and, to replace them when they instead, become right-wing corporate stooges and vote against our
best interests.
Besides pretending to care about the unborn while totally screwing the already born, what the right-wing agenda really
amounts to is, "we don't believe in spending tax dollars to actually help taxpayers". Rather, their goal
is to use tax dollars for enhancing the bottom-line of the military industrial complex and otherwise, enriching
corporations at the expense of us the taxpayers.
Any and every use of taxpayer dollars that will actually benefit taxpaying citizens is branded as "socialism" over and
over again, the new all-purpose "red scare" bait-and-switch term of the 21st Century. The now entirely discredited
Joe McCarthy appears “fair and balanced” alongside these Savage Nation and Coulter forty-five toting, hate-mongering
meglomaniacs.
Education is supposedly high on the right-wing “safe issue” list, but conservative legislators consistently vote against
increased spending for education. Whatever they can't eliminate because of political popularity, such as
Medicare and Social Security, they try to "reform" into oblivion, creatinging huge funding black holes designed to
funnel trillions of taxpayer dollars into big pharma and other deep corporate pockets.
Otherwise, the right-wing agenda is to convince average Joe Americans that all regulation of any kind is
evil. When in fact, wise regulation is what keeps tainted meat from ending up in all-American hamburgers, Joe
American construction workers safe on their jobs and American Air Lines planes from falling out of American skies.
Wise regulation is the reason banks were relatively sound under Eisenhower. While deregulation is obviously why
they began their substantially crooked turn for the worse under Reagan, controlled by bloated greedy bastards of mass
deception by the time Bush Junior was finished cutting a final slice out of the deregulation corporate mega-pie.
Is branding human beings “illegal” and blaming them for job losses and contagious diseases any different than what
gave rise to Adolf Hitler and Auschwitz? What is the real agenda of slave masters? What is the
agenda of pure evil?
What is the real right-wing agenda? You decide.
