Ever wonder how neocons, who are atheists and nihilists, can so easily make common cause with religious fundamentalists? The neocons believe in nothing except their own quest for power and their fitness to rule by virtue of their superior intellect. They know that religion is a powerful tool for them to use to manipulate a constituency into furthering neocon aims. They don’t much care what the religion dictates. It doesn’t matter as long as you can get the religious folks whipped up into a frenzy. This is easy to do because fundamentalists are irrational in so many ways and predisposed to being led.
The neocons reckon that the fundamentalists who do their bidding are a bunch of yahoos, and I’m pretty sure they laugh at them at their neocon cocktail parties. Especially funny is how supposed followers of the Prince of Peace can be turned into ardent war supporters. Who’d have thought it could be so easily done?
Perpetual war serves no purpose other than to empower the neocons and rouse the rabble to nationalistic jingoism. It stifles critical inquiry and makes it plausible in some quarters to characterize dissent as treason. It also makes the masses fearful. Fear breeds stupidity which breeds votes for neocons.
We owe it to future generations to record the machinations of the neocons and why they had to die.
