Reply #17: Maybe government is OK as long as it is right-wing extremist?

[mwb970]

I see a pervasive hate and distrust for government in general among the unhinged on the right. They hated Clinton in a similar way to what we see now, and he isn't black. But he was a Democrat, and he was "the gummint", so they hated him.

Their hatred for government actually transcends their racism. They put up with bush since he was "one of them" (God chose him, remember) but now they're right back at it. Perhaps it is effective government that bothers them the most?

Of course, all this is just speculation. I truly can't understand why the right-wing wackaloons believe the crazy things they believe. They seem beyond the reach of reason. It must be some form of mental illness, but I'm not qualified to evaluate their pathology beyond that.
