A few powerful Washington elites? I believe that would be Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, and the political extremists are Sara Palin and the tea partiers. The “incite or create panic” line refers to those tea partiers who tore down the barricades at the WWII memorial and marched to the White House. The extremists waved the confederate flag in front of the White House and chanted things like impeach Obama. ---Politicususa FreedomWorks is “top heavy on management and personnel and perks,” the former high-level employee said. The source cited, for example, an $8,000 hotel bill Kibbe ran up in Las Vegas. Bodnar did not deny the charge. Some former employees also questioned the value in FreedomWorks’ sponsorship of Glenn Beck’s network The Blaze, which one source said cost the organization $1 million last year. (A spokesperson for Beck declined to comment on the specifics of the arrangement.) FreedomWorks’ money problems culminated in taking out a $1 million line of credit earlier this year. Sources describe a culture where fiscal conservatism is ostensibly prized, but staff dine out at fancy restaurants on the company’s dollar and a microbrew bar in the office with four kegs (Kibbe is a craft beer aficionado) is paid for with FreedomWorks money. “At every conference they go to they stay in the best hotels, and it just doesn’t seem appropriate,” one former employee said. It doesnt seem appropriate? Did the former employee not get the memo that the rules for everyone else dont apply to them? The most disgusting thing here is that not only do they imagine theyre doing the work of an imaginary, weird, fundamentalist God---who conveniently rewards greed, hypocrisy and selfishness---but they believe theyre going to take over the government any day now. Their magical thinking allows them to rationalize that IF they destroy the country or the world... who cares? Paradise awaits elsewhere. Nothing matters but their own rewards, immediate or future, real or imaginary. Underneath everything theyre not good people, in the sense that most of us understand what makes someone a good person. Their favorite personas at any given moment (Bachmann, Cruz, Palin, Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Paul Ryan, Coulter) are those individuals who are willing to say the nuttiest, most outlandish, hateful, and bizarre things. Because, as a group, these people are nutty, outlandish, hateful and bizarre. Every single day, they are the ones on Fox News taking the Lords name in vain and calling it Fair and Balanced. And here in America, in the year 2013, they want religious law to override secular law as a means of power and control over all of us. They are Americas Taliban and they are currently holding our government hostage. Shame on moneyed elites like the Koch brothers for spreading this virus to save themselves some taxes, and shame on mainstream Republicans for allowing themselves to be pushed around for political gain. Never forget
