The Kamikaze Kids

Murtha is trying to do conservatives a favor, but the Republican wingnuts in Congress are too dumb to realize it.

The old guy is perceptive enough to realize that by continuing to beat a dead horse in Iraq, and continuing to pile up ever more ominous defecits, the present government is cutting its own throat and creating what very well might be a pre-revolutionary situation.

Murtha correctly perceives that the government's present course, in its recklessness and disregard for consequences, is undermining the rule of the political establishment, the corporate business establishment, and the military establishment.

It's obvious if you read his speech of November 17 that what most concerns him is that "The American public is way ahead of us," and "Our defecit is growing out of control."

Murtha realizes that the twin spectres of massive public disaffection from the war and hostility toward the government that got us into it, combined with the certainty of fiscal insolvency and collapse, are conspiring to create an atmosphere bordering on anarchy in this country.

That doesn't mean a revolution is sure to happen, but it does mean that a situation is brewing in which anything could happen. It means loss of control.

John Murtha is a conservative, a militarist, and no enemy of big corporations. He's not some kind of liberal, pacifist weenie. He sees this country's ruling elites behaving foolishly and endangering themselves, and his concern is for the viability of the established powers.

So go for it, Republicans. Just keep on doing what you're doing. Your psychopathic fear and rage masquerading as political philosophy tells the world who you are, even if you don't have a clue.

You're the best friends a committed revolutionary ever had.
