This rant stems from a comment made to an article here on Daily Kos: “Fact check shows that Kavanaugh is a skilled liar ... but still a liar”.

His lies counted on the fact that there would be no checking. I wish there was a video of him raging after he found out FBI will look into things.
My response:
This sounds right to me. I believe that he not only felt comfortable and safe lying about his nature as a high schooler, I believe his conspiracy rant was written by Stephen Miller, Gorka and Trump. Those hours spent at the white house were practice sessions for his rage at the machine performance.
Which triggered this rant:
Yes, I must admit that I get caught up in conspiracy theories. Well select ones any way. Not the Alex Jones or Trumpian type. “They are all out to get me, for no good reason type. The true “deep state” that I believe exists is the “Neo-Con” attempt to “rule” the nation. I foolishly thought they were dead and gone with the collapse of believability of the “W” administration. That now seems to be perhaps the biggest pipe dream. I first learned of this political faction, NEO-CONS back in 2002 — 2004 from reading The Politics of Truth by Joseph C. Wilson and Blinded by the Right by David-Brock.
(Highly recommend “MUST READ! David Brock on Brett Kavanaugh” by Optimal Idiot)
These people (NEO-CONS) are scary. And I feel that even after we take back the leadership of both this country and our place as a member and leader of the free world, they will still be out there lurking. Watching for an opening to place their moles in government. Chipping away at everything most of America wants. As they have done with Roe vs. Wade, as they have done with ACA. As they have done with saving the planet, taxes, budgets, the religious freedoms excuse and using Rush and Fox and Friends to spread their sour milk propaganda to those less educated, to those whose lives do not include the time needed to follow and more importantly digest, exactly what the Republican party is selling.
They really only have time to digest simple messaging. Especially when it includes favored buzzwords and phrases. Take your guns away, Socialist, Free education, equality, whether gender, pay, or race. All the “red meat” crap Trump and the Republican Party throws to it followers. After all the poor and uneducated are much easier to control and manipulate.
Saving the planet. The earth is our only spaceship. Squandering earth’s finite resources, purely for profit, is not going to work much longer. Our government must be able to see and plan far beyond the next quarterly report. It seems that every nation with responsible leadership knows this and is quietly working towards improving everyone’s status. All except our present smash and grab (no longer satisfied with just skimming) White House.
I have come to believe that the two most important occupations, in any place and at any time are:
Farmers to feed us.
Teachers to feed our brains.
With food in our tummies and Isaac Newton in our brains we can make our dreams come true and provide for our comforts without destroying our own nest. At the moment most of our energies need to go towards a massive restoration processes.
New products must come with cradle to grave engineering so that no more valuable land is lost to contamination and landfills that will exist for centuries. That is why nuclear power is NOT a viable answer. We have yet to figure out how to safely store WWII nuclear waste from only 70 years ago.
I seriously doubt that there are more than a handful of people currently alive who can successfully fully wrap their minds around the concept of safely storing deadly materials that have 10,000 year half life cycles. I.E. They would require something like 100,000 years to become somewhat safe. That is a hell of a shelf life. And these are only a few things that desperately require our attention.
This is why we need “free” education. No matter where the school is located it must provide the very best education to every student. Meaning that the education that students at the poorest inner city school in Miami, New York City, Gary Indiana is equal in every way, funding, support, class materials etc., with Georgetown Preparatory School and others of the very rich.
Lets face it the next Archimedes, Plato, Isaac Newton, Einstein, Christopher Hitchens, Stephen Hawkins, Daniel Dennett or any of thousands of other giants of science and enquiry upon whose shoulders we all stand may very well be hidden, and possibly lost to humanity, in these badly neglected school systems simply because they are “poor”.
That is unacceptable. We need every brain cell we can get to get us out of the mess we are in. We can no longer exist like yeast drowning in our own excrement.
