Modern American conservatism becomes clearer in its shape and character every day, notable for variable standards and a lack of responsibility and accountability—for them. The entire conservative intellectual and ethical edifice is built on lies. It is a sham.
Everything they say must be assumed to be a lie. If there are fragments of truth they are there only to serve greater falsehoods. Sound reasoning might be employed but only to rationalize and hide their nefarious ends. These are power and personal enrichment.
Talk ensues about what constitutes “high crimes” or treason. Much of it sophistry. The perpetrators have grown up skirting or trying to skirt wrongdoing by the technical definition while altering those laws and standards to suit them, revealing criminal intent.
The scope of the complicity is vast. Americans don’t like to think about the Bush years now, an especially criminal phase. They elected, twice, a government that ran on corruption and lies. It has been going on for decades but the criminal INTENT is more recent.
Intent is what counts. The current intent of Republicans is criminal and treasonous. I don’t give a shit about their justifications and rationalizations. It is all lies.
