It amuses me to no end to see chumps like this complaining that decades of their own deception, doubletalk, and rule by fear has created this monster. "My evil people were less evil than the evil people who were indoctrinated and put in place by my evil people."

The conclusion we should all be able to easily reach is that conservatives do not think rationally and cannot foresee the consequences of their own actions.

Which is why we're f----ed now.
