Today, Paul Krugman wrote an OpEd piece in the New York Times that is quite instructive for those who have a difficult time understanding the Left in American. Here is how he ends his piece:
"And if Tea Party Republicans do win big next year, what has already happened in California could happen at the national level. In California, the G.O.P. has essentially shrunk down to a rump party with no interest in actually governing — but that rump remains big enough to prevent anyone else from dealing with the state’s fiscal crisis. If this happens to America as a whole, as it all too easily could, the country could become effectively ungovernable in the midst of an ongoing economic disaster.
The point is that the takeover of the Republican Party by the irrational right is no laughing matter. Something unprecedented is happening here — and it’s very bad for America."
Herein lies the clear facts: liberals are convinced that they have the truth, and that their agenda for "Changing America" is the only rational path. Krugman believes that "Conservatives" are simply holding views that are irrational and that they are "paranoid" about how their country is being taken from them.
KRUGMAN IS CORRECT! Conservatives ( the majority of the people in the US) believe that their country is being taken from them. So, they are fighting back, and are indeed "focused on preventing the theft."
Indeed, his using California as an example of how the "Republicans" have caused a problem for that state, is quite remarkable. He blames the Republicans for the problems of profligate spending and budget deficits for as far as the eye can see; yet the Republicans have had no control over any of that. The out of control Democrats are the problem, and to blame the Republicans is a story right out of the "Rules for Radicals” handbook.
These people must be stopped. They are shredding our constitution to their socialist ends, and I for one will not just back off because I am accused of being an "Irrational right winger." My arguments are based on logic, not emotional appeals to the populists.
