Frost vs. Feston: Class Warfare and the Repugnant Right
Now that the Supremes have ruled that former Viacom CEO Tom Freston, who walked away from that company with a $85 million severance package, can stick the taxpayers of New York with the $21,819 tuition bill for private school for his ”special needs” son (he has ADD) without first seeing if public schools could do the job, can we PLEASE stop bashing the poor Frost family of Baltimore because they are just too damned well-off to have accepted help from the State Children’s Health Insurance Program - also known as SCHIP - which provides coverage for 6.6 million children from families not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid.Â
It is too much to expect, I suppose, that uber-pycho hose beast Michelle Malkin (crazy stalker bitch actually drove past the Frosts’ house and harassed their neighbors) and the fat white guys at The Corner will be embarassed by the disparity in class justice implied in these two family situations.  In fact, it is obvious that there is nothing that will embarass them.Â
We always knew the typewriter jihadists were crazy but who knew they were also so damned politically suicidal?  Is there anything more that these folks could possibly do to insure the election of Hillary Clinton in 2008?Â

They have to bash the Frost family because it’s easier than trying to defend bush’s veto. The repugs have been pulling shit like this for 6+ years. Whenever they have trouble answering the question “Why did bush ______? (fill in the blank),” they just look around for someone to attack.

I think that the reasoning of the repigs can be found in the various studies that have been done since the end of WWII on Authoritarianism and just how this can effect a society. The Authoritarian follower will do, and say anything and everything to back up and justify what the Authoritarian Leader is saying. Whatever the AL says is true, even if it is a direct contradiction of what he said yesterday. In the mind of an AF whatever they say or do is right, why? Because the AL said it. So they will stretch, beat, and twist logic into an unrecognizable form to justify what their AL has done or said. The sad part is that they do not understand that they have done anything wrong. In the mind of an AF, whatever they do in support(or what they think is support) of their AL is totally right and righteous. In their minds, all of those who condemn them are wrong, and have no concept of what is right and proper. Unfortunately, if nothing changes, this will be the future of the US. Full of AF’s who have been made to fear their very shadows, striking out blindly at the whim of their chosen AL. I read a lot of history, and where the US is right now reminds me a lot of the social history of Germany during the late 20’s and early 30’s. The studies that were made after WWII were done to try and understand just why a country of law abiding people could embrace so totally the ideology of fascism and the hatred of different races(jews,gypsies, slavs, etc) The rigid thinking of todays right wing conservatives can be seen to parallel that of the germans in the build up to WWII. You can see how the justifications for war with Iran are building just as they did for the current war with Iraq, and compare them with the justifications the germans used in starting WWII.

John Dean explains it far better than I, but I have been reading everything that I can find on this subject ever since I read his book CWC. I now think that I understand why the repigs act the way they do, and what, if AL’s continue to be elected, could be the future of the US
