What the wingnut assault on women, unions, the environment, health care and PBS is all about

Democratic message guru George Lakoff on Alternet:

Above all, the authority of wingnuttery itself must be maintained. The country should be ruled by wingnut values, and progressive values are seen as evil. Science should have authority over the market, and so the science of global warming and evolution must be denied. Facts that are inconsistent with the authority of wingnuttery must be ignored or denied or explained away. To protect and extend wingnut values themselves, the devil's own means can be used again wingnuttery's immoral enemies, whether lies, intimidation, torture, or even death, say, for women's doctors. Freedom is defined as being your own strict father - with individual not social responsibility, and without any government authority telling you what you can and cannot do. To defend that freedom as an individual, you will of course need a gun.

This is the America that wingnuts really want. Budget deficits are convenient ruses for destroying American democracy and replacing it with wingnut rule in all areas of life.
