I'm been watching "conservatives" fighting "conservatives" for several years now. We have the Rush Limbaugh "conservatives" which really probably aren't conservatives at all but just sheep that follow the Pied Piper of New York radio (though Rush started out in Sacramento). Then we have the "Constitutional Conservatives" who are mainly the Ron Paul crowd and listen to the Pied Piper of Austin Radio: Alex Jones. Funny thing about the "Constitutional Conservatives" is they often sound very liberal get calls come in from "conservatives" on the radio show accusing them of being liberal. Well the Constitution is rather a liberal document so if that is your foundation then you are faily liberal but that idea makes those Christian survivalist cum-libertarian "types", who are fans, heads spin like Linda Blair in "The Exorcist." :-D
Now the main concern of many sides is "big government" which is owned and operated by "big business." But tell the libertarians that "big business" is the problem and we need to seize and redistribute the wealth of the "global elite" and their heads spin like Linda Blair in "The Exorcist" too. Seems they don't want the opportunity taken away from them to become filthy rich people and become "global elite" assholes themselves. Sometimes if you hold the earth at arms length you get a good idea of what a fucked up place it is. If you've ever seen weevil infested grain or flour then think of the Earth as the flour and the weevils as human beings. Then you have a super real vision of the problem. ;-)
