” Sadly, the foot soldiers of Conservatism do not understand that they are winning a Pyrrhic victory, one which indicates a deep and systemic rot in this country, as opposed to a triumph of ideas and values that can lead us through the decline of empire and towards a brave new future.” — From article below
It has long been very perplexing to me why blue collar workers and the poor would support Republican/Tea Party/Conservative values and positions. Apparently, I am not the only one that feels this. I have not phased it quite so eloquently, saying they were “shooting themselves in the foot”, as opposed to calling it a Pyrrhic victory, but same thought.
The mega corporations do not care about America anymore. Profit is their god, and the planet has become open with all the Free Trade agreements. A dollar made in Cambodia is the same as a dollar made in Flagstaff, as far as they are concerned. I have no idea what the Tea Party wants except the demise of our government and thus our country.
What is that old Irish curse, “May you live in interesting times.” Interesting are these times, but they are also very sad.
