The Right-wing agenda
Edited on Sat Aug-02-03 09:11 AM by The Lone Liberal
In examining the leaders of the right-wing agenda let us start with what they are not about. They are not about anti-civil rights, religious tolerance, anti-gun control, pro-life, anti-gay or moral suasion, they are not about any of those issues that seem to spring up and into the social debate. They use these issues for diversion from the real agenda. That agenda is very simple, “How do I get what you have and how do I stop you from getting what I have.” They live for one political code, “protect the wealth.”

From time to time they stir the pot and bring the masses into a struggle over issues for which they truly have no preference as to the outcome. Their main goal is to keep the masses locked in eternal struggle over issues that distract as they patiently build an economic wall to protect the wealth.

Until one side or the other refuse to take the bait that is trolled before them the struggle will go on. It is no secret that we are being used. What is curious is that even knowing we spring into combat according to the right-wing agenda and give evidence of doing so forever. Some how we need to breakout and to engage in the struggle over the real agenda.

1. you describe only one sector
of the right.
don't doubt for a minute the passion of the religous right, bigots, etc.
they are, it's true, being used by corporate facists -- but it works the other way as well. i.e. bush's nominations for the judiciary.
it's a case of the ''non-believing'' political and economic elite using the ''virtuous'' citizenry. it's machiavellian.

2. I think you're into something there
The big whigs on the right are really about protecting their power. They are in charge in this country and they know it.

They are emphatically NOT interested in sharing it... with the Dems or any "minority" group.

It's just icing on the cake, and adds a certain legitimacy in some people's minds, that the RR has teamed up with them.

5. Well their are two parts to the right wing then the old time GOP
We can count out the old GOP as they have lost control of the Grand old Party but the other two have joined in the grab for power. Bush is the middle man and has to hold on to that Bible belt vote or like his father he can not control the party. Lower taxes and the hand out of our taxes to the corp does it for the money men but this Bible belt is something I do not know how you crack. They started taking over power 10 years ago. The made no bones about it, and said they were going to start at the lower levels and they did just that.I recall they had a big church man on TV once and he said ' it is not that we are going to be a Chistian country it is what type of christians we are going to be.' And you know that means their type. For the life of me I do not understand how you get around that.

6. The Christian Right are dupes
Edited on Sat Aug-02-03 12:05 PM by The Lone Liberal
At sometime in the future, near future if a Republican landslide happens in 2004, the Christian right will be purged much like the brown-shirts in Hitler's Germany. Wealth cannot have a religious reactionary group disturbing their world. The agenda has nothing to do with moral codes. The ethic is money.
