Hate Radio, High Power Weapons in Shootings, Corporate Greed and Law Breaking, Coddling those who lie about War, the list of Right Wing Permissive behavior goes on and on.
One of the favorite catch phrases from the Right, for a long time, has been Left Wing or Liberal Permissiveness. It is at the heart of the emotional image that the Right Wing wallow in of a Nation and Culture indulgent and out of control. It is the one thing that binds them all. Conservatives, Neo Cons, Social Cons -- all believe that the Liberal and Progressive way of thinking is the permission to partake in every indulgent and decadent behavior known.
The pointing out of this so-called permissiveness is at once a way calling attention to ways of thinking and life-styles that offend some people, but is in reality a way of creating the "other". A kind of dehumanizing that states that some people, namely Liberals, can not control their most base and animal instincts.
Now, I think it is time to contemplate that there is such a thing as Right Wing Permissiveness. It is an attitude and actions that tell certain people that it is okay to hate and hate with a passion. That it is okay to collect and keep honorific weapons that have no other purpose than to kill as many human being as quickly as possible. It says that you should be able to make fun of the weak or the different, on the public air-waves, without any consequences. In fact, anyone who would challenge you is trying to curb you rights, regardless of those whom you try to hurt.
It is, indeed, the ability to lie and cheat, and steal from employees, shareholders, and consumers, as long as the rich get richer.
Finally, it is a way of thinking that says to lie a country into a war is okay, as long as I feel better about myself for being a part of a country at war.
In all ways it is a permissiveness that gives into some of the most corroding and loathsome flaws human being can possess.
Perhaps now we should start to speak to this Right Wing Permissive nature. To point out that a country of fear, and greed, and strife are not American values. That the real danger to our souls lies in cop killer bullets, hate speech, corporate thievery, and unprovoked wars of opportunity.
