j. Promoting the self-styled “Minutemen”

To sum up, the views promoted are:
1) Pro-Israel, anti-Muslim
2) Extremely fearful of foreigners
3) Ostensibly Christian, of the literalist, punishing, simple-minded variety
4) Extremely anti-‘liberal” – and anti-fag. Basically, Liberal = Fag
5) Pro-Republican, pro-GW Bush
6) Fearful of a “world government” – basic paranoid xenophobia about globalization

Interestingly, there are some common threads with the “left” – notably the anti-globalization attitude, fueled by a fear of global world government, rather than of global corporatism, yes, but very similar. If these guys weren’t really shills for the corporatist agenda, there might be some discussion. But, IMHO, at heart these guys are not sincere, but rather promoting a hidden agenda. I mean, Ann Coulter is a self-created character, spouting views which are designed to promote herself, regardless of whether she believes them. Ditto Rush Limbaugh – who is a moral degenerate, taking 20 oxycontin a day (procured illegally using his immigrant housemaid), and loading up on Viagra (also obtained illegally) to vacation in the Caribbean on an island known for the availability of teen prostitutes.

The question is, who is behind this? Using classic, extremely sophisticated divide and rule tactics. To confuse and to manipulate and to advance their corporatist agenda. The only solution – real leadership. Committed to uniting rather than dividing. There are differences in interests, yes. But much better to work things out than to retreat into screaming isolation.
