Colleagues,
Marty's quote really sums up so much of the conservative mindset:
"the conservatives' shared fantasy of group marginalization and
persecution will be exposed for the preposterous paranoia it really is."
How a group which controls so much of the political and economic power
in this country can continue to whine about how they are constantly
being silenced is truly striking. It's both a subconscious victim
mentality (which is interesting on the level of mass psychology) and a
conscious, very successful attempt to keep the left on the defensive,
which we need to actively counter. Any ideas?
