Ok, this will not be a particularly cogent post, I am entering it straight into the tool rather than typing it up, editing and then transferring over here. Anyhow...
Am I Going Crazy?
The current budget crisis in California is a clear sign of the rightist goal of destroying our governing institutions than any I have seen and yet the 'liberal' media are ignoring it, it was just a one day story evidently.
I went to huffington post even, not one mention of it on the front page.
I googled it and there was only one story I could find that was posted today (the ousting of the republican leader in the senate)
Am I insane?
I am not given over to radicalism, but the recent actions of the Republicans have made it clear they are bent on destroying not only the middle class but our ability to govern ourselves. They are actively seeking to destroy governing instutions across this country and in our national government.
For far too long we tend to view Republican talking points as hyperbole and other forms of intellectually dishonest claptrap. I am not so sure anymore...
We are the insurgency, we can learn our lessons from the Taliban. at firts blush it seems like an odd thing to say, the guy is mocked, but he means it...
Grover Norquists wanting to drown the baby in the bathtub analogy, seems kind of cold, but he could never pull it off, just a right wing crank...
And now we are confronted with EVIDENCE of there aims in the form of the purely IDEOLIGICAL unwillingness to keep the state of California running even in the face of MASSIVE concessions from their oppsition..
This is nothing less than the realization of their ultimate goal...to destroy our governing institutions. These radicals are waging a revolution and yet WE, not just the MAINSTREAM MEDIA, but the left are treating this as if it is a one day story, or at best a back pager..
I really am beginning to wonder if I have become interweb illiterate or something...
No news on the story today to be found? Really?
Am i losing my mind???
nothing on TPM, MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, Slate, nothing current anywhere, this is not a one day story...
almost every site has an octopussy story, almost every site has a roid boy story, almost every site has an oscar story...
No one has a current story on the california budget crisis and the radical rights attempt to bring down the govenrment?
nothing on KOS, at least not rekked anyway...
This California business is deadly serious, this is niot a story about 20,000 layoffs (which is bad enough) or the likely 100s of thousands of jobs affected once the public works projects cease...the radicals are trying to destroy the government and so far they are succeeding and yet no one seems to care...
I must be going crazy...
