All those flaming Conservatives from a few years back are now RINOs, Moderates, Establishment. No, they haven't changed, they are still the same, just the definition of Conservative keeps going further and further Right. And they show no evidence of stopping any time soon.

They, and the people they appeal to, have finally started to come to terms that they have been lied to, conned, taken for a ride, betrayed. All their lives, they have been told that if they kept their nose clean and worked hard and played by the rules
that one day they would be successful businessmen, with workers of their own to exploit; or at least, their children would be.

Now they know that's not going to happen, and they're pissed. They need to blame it on somebody, because they can't bring themselves to admit that they have been betrayed and lied to by precisely those people they wished to emulate, the people they wished to become.

Sure, the world has changed, the country has changed, history happened and the economy has evolved away from the golden post-war era when America owned everything and could always get its way. But these people have been left behind and its too late for them, or their kids. And the ship is sinking around them.

And the people they followed, those whose lives they envied, the ones who lied to them, they got to the lifeboats first and they're not looking back.

Its happened before, in Germany right after World War I. That's why the rabble, and the demagogues who manipulate them, all sound so familiar.

And that's why they hate Obama so much. They can't even elect one of their own as President any more.
