The Con War vs. Our Government

2:05 pm EST May 8th, 2006 | Politics | 2 Comments

The problem with the conservative cult’s groupthink is that once you don’t march along like a mindless drone to the hive-mind, you’re assumed to be part of a vast conspiracy working against “the cause”. For instance, the National Review has now declared a jihad against the CIA because they didn’t take kindly to Porter Goss ravaging the agency with a Bush-style partisan witchhunt.

During the Bush presidency, however, the agency has not been content with subtly pushing its own agenda while underperforming its nominal mission. It has run amok. In fact, it worked assiduously though unsuccessfully to depose the administration in the 2004 election, and since then has continued brazenly undermining Bush s foreign policy.

You see kids, the CIA ran a covert operation to win the 2004 election for the Democrats because Lord knows us Democrats just love agencies like the CIA – you know, what with them being peaceniks and all. How deranged. The right is declaring war on the CIA because they stubbornly refuse to live in the reality that the administration has created for itself, and buying into their utterly idiotic worldview they now imagine a clandestine war against Republicans being waged by the CIA.

Conspiracy theory, line one.

    Oh but it’s not just the CIA that apparently is infested with liberals. Oh no, the Army isn’t winning in Iraq because it’s too full of squishy liberal bleeding hearts, and indeed our President has the lowest approval ratings ever because he is actually a liberal! Conservatism, by definition, cannot fail, therefore when the government/armed forces/intelligence services etc. fail it is, ipso facto, proof of the inherent fallacy of liberalism!

    That puckering sound you hear is sound of the world of conservatism shrinking ever further.
