Right Wing Nuts In US Politics

"Mr. Loughner probably has no idea of these problems. In his delirium, he thinks that he only acts to defend the American Dream that Mrs. Palin claims with such insistence. Wrong. The paradox is that representative Giffords was not the only one in the sights of the new right-wing American. The main target of this movement is precisely Loughner's whole generation, a generation beaten and forced to live without education, without the promise of gainful employment and stable, adequate health services. A lost generation that can never aspire to a better life. His sacrifice is so that a small minority of privileged people can live the American dream, not just dream it.

"Samuel Johnson, English author of the second half of the eighteenth century, said that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. His statement applies well to the case of the extreme American right. No one doubts the rascality of people like Palin and some pseudo-journalists, but now there is a direct connection with murderous super-patriotism.

"Just do not forget that in Arizona there was a proto fascist political environment that literally has the Latino immigrants in its sights. The right and their allies in the mass media have been the engine of the prevailing climate of hate not only in Arizona, but in many other states. After all, as Solzhenitsyn said, anyone who has proclaimed violence as a method inexorably must choose lying as their principle."
