THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM... [View all]

not of calculus but of American Conservatism....

So when I was a kid, my progressive yet pragmatic father (as opposed to my bomb-throwing, noncompromising Socialist Mother) used to say that the fundamental tenet of American Conservatism was "Don't touch my wallet". He said that when it all boiled down to it, any program, appropriation, or other governmental action on ANY level was not going to be supported if it did not firstly, enrich the already-wealthy, and secondly, if it benefited the lower classes solely, and by lower classes he meant the bottom 98%.

But I believe that has changed under this megalomanical psychopathic narcissist: the FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM is now: anyone who hates people of color of any "stripe" are placed on an unassailable pedestal, for the crisis in their eyes is not fiscal but racial. That is simply, the whole ball of wax...or string...or whatever...

God help us....
