“They're casting their problem on society. And you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families”
-- Margaret Thatcher, October 9, 1987
"...more than ever, Washington IS the problem, and the real solutions will come from our businesses, our communities, our schools and the most basic and powerful unit of all-our families."
-- Michele Bachmann, June 27, 2011, Waterloo, IA
A bloody-minded True Believer's faith in the Godliness of their dogma.
An unvarnished loathing for all opposition.
An boundless contempt for government.
A ruthless eagerness to sacrifice the lives and futures of the poor, the sick, the weak, the elderly and the outsider on the altar of unfettered oligarchy.
Slavishly loyal acolytes who happily blind themselves to the misery and ugliness their ideology leaves in its wake.
And fuck the facts when they get in the way.
Regardless of what feckless, dorm-room "real" conservatives may tell themselves to balm their wounded egos over being wrong about everything their entire adult lives, these are the real pillars of Conservatism, over here and over there, then and now.
All else is tactic, style and commentary.

Would it surprise anyone if Bachmann was secretly doping herself with testosterone to be more assertive like the boys?
Really? Families are going to rebuild our nation's crumbling infrastructure? Businesses are going to bring Wall Street criminals to justice? Huzzah! I guess that means our government can focus all its energy on showering the Bachmann clan with subsidy cash.

There is a supplemental post here somewhere. I can't put my finger on it exactly, but it's at the nexus of a certain blogger's ability to show the pig people as the clowns they are, and Michelle Bachmann comparing herself to John Wayne(Gacy).
I don't care what a pol looks like, unless their eyes are too shifty (but that's a behavior thing, not appearance).
Bachmann had better get to the WH now. Her base isn't gonna be so hot for her in 4 years when she'll look more like Olympia Snowe or Susan Collins than the Alaskan Quitbull.
Remember the "Hands" ad! "You were the most qualified for the job. But they had to nominate a MILF."
When will the American populice learn not to put people who hate the government in the government?
