Bruce Bartlett, who had been Ronald Reagan's Economic Policy advisor said: "Frankly, one of our political parties is insane, and we all know which one it is. They have descended from the realm of reasonableness that was the mark of conservatism. They dream of anarchy, ending government". Clearly Bruce Bartlett was not talking about Ronald Reagan's Republican party. When he said it he was referring to the John Boehner, Rand Paul, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Scott Walker, Rick Scott, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Joni Ernst, et al Republican party.
The dream of anarchy and ending government is currently on steroids compliments of the Trump/Putin alliance, a complicit Republican Party, and a corporate America bent on oligarchy as a way of life for America..
tMr. Bartlett statement clearly defines the right wing lunatic fringe that has managed to take over the Republican Party. And if educated middle class and working class conservatives keep voting for GOP Obstructionists, that is exactly what they will get: anarchy and an ineffective government.
Not surprisingly, this lunatic fringe is funded by at least 17 very wealthy Americans like the Koch Brothers who are and have always been very tired of democracy. Because in a true democracy, government works for the common good, not the very rich. Clearly, the motivating goals of the very wealthy Americans who make up the 1% is to create a plutocracy where the gulf between super wealthy Americans and the rest of America is so wide that the 99% can only bend to the will of the rich.
Thus the necessity of having working class and middle class white conservatives buy into and support the destruction of the White Middle Class. An affluent white middle class and a working class supported by strong unions can not serve the purpose of the very rich.
Blinded and confused by conservative lies, rhetoric, and fake outrage over President Obama, abortion, Gay Marriage, Benghazi, IRS, Obamacare, Ebola, and voter fraud even the educated class of the white conservative middle class doesn't seem to realize what is happening to them and why it is happening. Nor do they seem to know that they don't know.
The transparent goal of the 1% is to place all Americans, including every white person and their children who make up their conservative base, into economic bondage. They will accomplish this through deregulation, corporate mergers, and eventually the control of water, food, energy, education and the law.
While White America is pre-occuppied with the conservative fear of undocumented immigrants, the Black President, abortion, gay marriage, gun control, Obamacare, non-existent voter fraud, and Benghazi much of white America , especially the white conservative base of the Republican party, has failed to realize that they have allowed their minds and lives to be controlled by conservative pundits on Fox News, the likes of Rush Limbaugh, and a Republican political party that does nothing (I repeat, NOTHING) for them except make them angry and mistrust government.
This attack ondemocracy, the American Economy, and on the economic stability of American Families will decimate the families of white America.
Laying claim to the only ownership of morality through the use of emotional words and expressions like "family", "Pro-life", "religious freedom", "war on religion" "Job Creators", "elitists", "gun control", and "Lazy liberals", right wint conservative Republicans have convinced their conservative base that the Democrats who are trying to preserve a democracy for the common good is in fact working against white Americans. It reeks of pure unadulterated insanity, the death throes in the middle of an insane wet dream of an educated conservative middle class gone mad.
Wake up America, despite eight years of right wing conservative GOP lies and GOP obstruction, President Obama did not come for your guns or tried to deprive you of your freedom. He worked relentlessly to give you affordable health care which the Republican Party has tried to repeal more than 50 times. Why? Because conservative Republicans and the wealthy 1% don't want white conservatives to have affordable health care.
Without affordable health care hospitals can charge you $24,000 for an appendectomy for which insurance company only pay $3600. You are stuck with that bill forever, and when you die, your children's estate will pay those charges before they receive what you have want to leave for them
Its way past time for the GOP's conservative base to wake up from their wet dream. Wet dreams may give you some pleasure, but they are not real. And reality is a cold monster especially when you awake to find that the love of your conservative life is the monster whose existence you denied.
