Arizona; a beautiful state full of beautiful people, but that says nothing about the patronizing right wing demagogues it passes off as its US senators.
I know of nothing these two dimmed down bulbs have done for Arizona, not all of Arizona. As most Republican leaders these days; under their tent grows their version of serving the conserved status elites, while trying to seduce we regular folks to their own one and only kind of view toward Life. Their projections of fear and insecurity are tailor made for business interest to trump the average citizens. We citizenry are put into our proper servile place; to stay in the molded mindset of a corporation based government paradigm.
Down with (public democracy) Government! = (Up with Private Dictatorships!) Hide that last part in parenthesis. Thanks.
Many a Democratic leader seems to have this same affliction; pandering to elite powers seductive addictions. I’m not selling the Democrats as saints here. This post is mostly about mind control tactics being used on populations kept essentially in the dark by a corporation slanted media that follows its own opportunistic calling. (Uh? But didn’t you mean to say a Liberal Mainstream Media?)
The public at large, especially in places like Arizona, are given their view from those getting the most from all the environments; social, economic, earth ecosystems etc, yet pawing off the responsibilities for maintenance, cost and upkeep to all. Wealthiness is socialized economic redistribution after all. And wealth must be given its narratives of achievement and success, devoid of responsibilities and accountability to The Whole. Cause what egomania fun is that! For this, the GOP and right wing propaganda machinery is designed for diversion, denial and obfuscation, all buttressed by platitudinal pabulum.
With myopic lenses inserted; why Arizona and America’s interest are all clear as a tax cut. Down with Government, that coincidentally in a Democracy defends us militarily and rights-wise from opportunist with other forms of power, unless they kill Democracy’s dimensional and directional value, and or take it over that is.
Arizona has unfortunately been sculpted to make the positive aspect Appearance Reality of wealth be its Consensus Reality mind-frame as well. We The People, are to tag along behind the really important to my election people, bearing the brunt of all the negative sides of wealth and its consumption addictions.. Now with corporations being allowed to socialize their own “freedom” to influence Democracy at will, thanks to the ever incompetent conservatives on the Supreme Court, the mind cleaning for corporate conformity will proceed at a picked up pace.
Perceptions (right or wrong) of order in societies functioning, can erode away the rights of “We The People” while being chanted by the misdirected to that very phrase. The Pharos would have been proud of todays conservatives achievements in skewing reality perception by linguistic trickery and other forms of sophistry necessary to have rationalization trump reason. How? Reason (demonstrable cause and effect) is made to be suspicious, while emotional cause and effect undeterred from fact checking is made to be obvious. Enter Fox Newsiness and all the other right wing propaganda platforms where no full fact base or context need apply.
The Obama Omission Haunts Arizona’s Commons
With Obama taking away the sensible Governor for homeland security, we were left with the sycophants of predatory wolves free to rule the hen house of the states residents common interest. A biased to hierarchical branded “Freedom” comes packaged with populist pabulum delivered all self righteously and entitled of course… We see all too often how scary John McCain appears, with his dizzy spiraling ideological “common sense”, as he regularly tries to be a spokesperson for the lobotomized right wing base he used to be sensibly leery of.
Now the name of the passion game is; that party virtue is to be as crazy-(accusatory without evidence or honest context–fear merchandising) and intellectually frozen in place as can be. Open minds in Arizona’s leadership? We don’t need open minds here, those are to be loathed. Stuff just falls through open minds anyway, obviously.
Kyl has perfected his top down view of the publics interest to suit Arizona’s top place (winners) business folks needs. All goodness and moral quality are known by viewing the self centered needs of wealth and power, as long as they do not help poor people who should be helping themselves after all. Don’t they see how society works for those who have? It’s Gods message to them apparently. We should not interfere with God people. What are you thinking! I like how the “Eye Of The Needle” has been engineered to be the freeway to goods and services. Faith and trust come in real handy as a mechanisms to cover over reality.
Serve those who reward you economically or what are you doing? It seems people of “substance” like to be “framed” grand style, by being told how they are the best there is, and can do no wrong unless caught at certain things. The chamber of commerce Golden Calf Chain is anchored around Republican heads and hearts while the rest of us should be quite, just be grateful for knowing our proper place. This produces an economic cosmology that grinds down the idea that true and full public interest is the primary one in a Democracy. We are losing it.
{Here is an article I just came across that reflects upon the state of conservatism.}

Why Conservatism is Disconnected From Reality | The Moderate Voice
.
Propagandist of the right, agitating for self separation anxiety in the public, and so dependency on power structures, such as the GOP does, various Rush Limbo’s, as well as most all of Fox News; portray how fear and loathing are to be ones actionable better angels. And of course! Bring this up to any of them and you will relativised existentially, likely be told that you are the one producing the dissonance, by suggesting one should fear them. Ha! Caught me hypocrite! This contrapuntal circular reasoning trick is a mainstay in conservative alleged debunking platforms, it “existentializes” any criticisms, seeming to produce an effect similar to a Thought-terminating cliché.
The fear and loathing, wrapped in pseudo scientific proof for science claims of likely facts, or psychological and social ones, get associated with their opposite side of the coin energy by claims of moral superiority. Now a rabbit can come out of knitted cap; specially delivered with much smiling and wincing for confident Appearance Reality sake in the confirmation bias enabled Consensus Reality show. No really!
Exhibit A; Fox newsiness entertainment shows. It is all about manipulating and contorting how things seem, and not objectively how they are in full context or perspective. Perception of cause and effect are highly truncated and convoluted. Here is where faith, trust, and party loyalties cover over the landscapes of ignorance with ideological certainty of purpose and rightful cause. The faithful trust Fox to give them their fix. This enables Evil (ignorance) to go right under their radars and into their policies.
We see all accusation from these conservatives, but no real answers, except to recite a business, or an alluded to certain kind of Christian model identity as The People’s. For the self defined religious conservatives, one religions imagined superior moral value currency is decreed as the only viable one in our nation, and ultimately the world. No pluralism and diversity. No freedom, real democracy, nor liberty need apply. This sort of a priori surety of foundational concepts, insulates unstable and dependent identities from the ambiguities and nuance at Life’s table. –It is my way or the highway with you. My God or my version of The Constitution are making me get you.
Suffering The Fools
Speaking of highways; I personally know if you come to Arizona from Mexico or New Mexico, better go to the bathroom there before coming into AZ, cause the rest stops are closed at their first stops on the Interstate here. Budget cuts for beautiful AZ that somehow Texas And New Mexico seem to survive with intact.
This is what the Republicans, along with the hugely private funded “think tank” version of focus grouped dimmed down conservatism we have today, has done to Arizona. Once brimming surpluses were eroded away by tax cuts for the wealthy. You know; that whole strangle government from interfering with your personal income; the grander the income the more responsibility for the state and nation one seems to reject. This is contempt for The Commons– the connectivity of Life in society and all other environments. It requires philosophical mindsets of separation; of us and them, a compartmentalized and segregated consciousness, to explain how one is fundamentally better than another and intrinsically at odds with their interest.
What goes around comes around in the real world however; the greed–(self entitlement without acknowledging consequence) of the wealthy comes to curse the majority who made the wealthy wealthy. Yes, like the economy, the wealthy redistribute the nations and states wealth to themselves, with society allegedly providing the winner narrative, as one envied by all.
This can transfer the wealthy’s skewed alienated perspective as one we each should desire and pursue. Now the detached, and in some respects, deluded individual, finds “death taxes” and certain tax cuts as coming to them rightfully, when it is actually an issue for 1% or so of the population. Better than smoke and mirrors, it is conservatism’s need to not check facts, to have contempt for them, unless they are cherry picked ones that suit their confirmation biased world view.
This is conservatism’s profound incompetence; its truncated spiritual and cosmological world view. It preserves the conservatives fear and insecurity dependency based delusions of grandeur, while blaming those without for not being go getting, or good enough; The Commons be damned, or better yet, kept completely off the perceptual radars. Pollution? Poverty? Vast common interest? I just don’t see it! Get a job! Get a life!
Watch What I Pull Out Of The Liberals Hat!
These two senator guys, like most Republican leaders and their ideological string pullers, have to figure out how to sell the wealthiest interest as all our own. Language must be commandeered, and it has been over the last several decades. A word and idea such as taxes, or responsiblity for Freedoms maintenance in a Democratic nation; the way a Democracy addresses major issues affecting it, is reduced to an impingement on your right to have everything you can get and give back only what you decide–(actually, Representative government already is this by vote).
But from the demonization of concept campaign; the public interest; that Big Side of every citizen, is to be taken care of by nothing, as if we are actually detached from this world and Creation we live in, a delusion. But by focusing on negative tag frames of reference, an ideological identity emerges as a kind of freedom loving “common sense” mandate prerogative I have; that government is best that non exist. Oh. Its popular to say we need a military to protect our dumbed down concept of our “Vital National Interest”. This is suicidal for a democratic republic, not to mention the connectivity of Life and its vast interplay of system dynamics integral to all our existence.
It, the consequences of ones actions beyond the self, will clean up automatically after my life and business somehow. It is magical thinking after all! I know of some conservatives (certainly not all) who resent recycling; must seem a bothersome, imposed new change, or a do-gooder suspicious conspiracy to make my life hard. Fixing infrastructures is now–a big tax on your children! But how else are common things done? Your church or the company you own or work for going to do this for itself? As I said; fear and insecurity grounded delusion’s of grandeur they want us all to bear for them.
This is how tax cuts can become a state and a nations deadening weight. That Democracies with the highest tax rates are considered to be quantitatively and qualitatively most free, is against the individualist alone narrative being offered as the supposedly only one for the freedom loving citizen. Even the libertarians hat can be stuffed with baloney instead of rabbits.
And Faith Makes Objectivity Irrelevant
The program to attach economic well being to Gods grace flowing upon you, is now well under way in America, sometimes called “Prosperity Christianity”, but it is actually materialism’s guise as Gods grace. You are poor cause God is punishing you. Jesus had the loaves and fishes, not us.
Fear and insecurity are the leverage points for unstable identity’s who’s egos are “naturally” always seeking to be the bride for various absolutist mind-frames. The national (corporate now mixing with theocratic) narrative is filled with paying attention to stocks, and wondering what kind of Nirvana we all will pursue with all the money and morals we would have if liberals were not around.
This completely ignores the pyramidal and predatory nature of unregulated capitalism, as it has been allowed to disintegrate into a dominator mindset without Democracy’s thoughtful oversight. With your money or your life as the “Life” paradigm, we are literally saying that human beings only deserve what they can afford. That money is an abstract symbol actually detached from rules of true merit, honesty or achievement, is conveniently not to be considered. The new God is Coin, or was that the old Golden Calf?
That is what is destroying a true national community of cause, and polluting the American Spirit. That Spirit is reduced to, who gets the most income wins the most from life; achievement, heredity, hook or crook,– is now the one and only American Way. I heard a Republican representative pontificating against the socialist nature of a healthcare system, (like an optional medicare), while then saying he stands for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
.
United States Declaration of Independence – Wikipedia, the free …
… that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. …
.
Notice Life comes first in this grand rights abstraction. If it is as it is–your money or your life ( some 45,000 die each year from lack of adequate health-care), how then is Life the presiding unalienable right? Is it really; Well. It’s what they would have said was the case, if you have enough money, you then can have Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit Of Happiness? This is the kind of self retardation being created by fear and paranoia’s myopic identity framers, and not the USA’s Founding Fathers and Mothers.
In the name of Freedom, Liberty and, Death To Taxes!, America is being undone by deluded intention. They will end US up in the Singapore model of economic prosperity, the same one China is idealizing; no criticism of the economy or the cultural narrative, then money’s Golden Light will shine its graces upon thee. Know thy place my child. There be free.
No! It’s You! Na, Na, Na, Na, Na.
Conservatives make a seemingly unavoidable perceptual error; the fallacy that liberals are themselves as dogmatic as they themselves are. The colored lens of absolutism produced this fallacy for conservatives; that liberals are not self correcting. Liberalism is by its very nature, a self correcting theoretical framework, where “higher truth” is allowed to win out if it produces a superior objective logical case.
This does not mean that liberals “know” they are right as conservatives do. Liberals and conservatives are likely nearly equal in their actual lives regarding fact and fiction. Liberals, or that open nature toward Life that all humans have somewhere within themselves, adapt to changing situations, instead of insisting that situations cannot or should not change. As it is; Life does intrude on the best laid plans and beliefs.
There Are Diverse interest With A Varying Places On The Continuum Of Connection And Responsiblity: This Is The Way Of Life And Of Democracy.
A Way that is actually abstract and emotionally detached from all things, except those supporting the economic paradigm which controls its own self affirming philosophical tenets, is a scheme. You can get angry, get greedy, or lust for the “good life”, then “succeed” mightily. The more you make seeming to define the more you wish not to contribute back to the actual systems you are taxing by your success. Magically, society and other environments take care of themselves somehow. Not my problem! Make a liberal angry; succeed and be happy!
Yet that paradigm says you are a success; the income proves it! You are no longer a loser but an achiever; one being responsible for oneself. You were kept down by liberalism’s lack of expectation and provision of entitlement. Now you are a self made success, having overcome liberalism’s depression of your spirit. However, in this new success schemes self fulfilling prophesy, you are also set up not to see where everyone else really is if you could ever achieve such an awareness.
You do not see nor likely no longer accept the dissonant reality, that some are not every actually in your position for a rebirth into a self reaffirming material mindset. Some do not have the ability or the emotional makeup that you do. Some may not be spiritually aware as you are, and depriving them of basic life ingredients may well only make your “tough love’ a formula for an others death sentence. You may now believe that the physical can force moral value enlightenment, but it may well end up defining materialism as the worshiped goal, and materialism detest critical awareness of its spiritual impacts. Yet “value” and “moral” votes think they can force goodness into people by preventing them from doing things by force.

Conservatives Without Conscience: Christians and Earthly Authority …
Aug 2, 2006 … I’ve just finished reading John Dean’s new book, Conservatives Without Conscience, and have found much fuel there for examining conservative …

Leaders Without A Conscience Of The Real
Herein is the ground to manifest the mental and spiritual illness affecting much of conservatism today: Responsibility and accountability to a Whole system, can seem to conservatives to be an unjust imposition upon their own particular amputated conceptions of freedom and individual self realization. They fall under the spell of alienation and its attendant fear and insecurity; seeming to constantly complain about the weaknesses “out there” in the world. They see others as lacking in their own self confirmed bias and faith in a system designed to exploit individuals and environments while being itself psychologically backed up to adding brick and mortar to a wall of denial toward The Commons, or if you will; Creation.
This mindset intentionally will ignore corporate, as well as all of our, responsiblity to the vast Commons—all that connects the relationships of the life we each possess. Instead, the idea is to turn the table in the temple over, expelling God, or if you do not accept that God is a reality; all the integral associations of Life in Creation that we are all immersed in together; the air, the earth and so very much more.
Instead, they leave only vendors selling the necessities of a parted out Creation, where money is the determinate whether you literally live or die. Your survival value is–how much you have. Some see this worshiping of materialism as the grace of God being bestowed upon them–how convenient a rationalization. Not unlike the one humankind has been burdened with for ages– the haves validating themselves while distancing themselves from the have-nots’. The cultural scheme rewarding with circular logic; the design of the scheme professed as destiny.
It is emotional and spiritual voodoo made to seem like Divine Respect and Sanction. The unbridled exploitation mindset has the same functionality as cancer; it will destroy its commons (the individual’s body of cells interconnected in this case) while consuming all it has to survive eternally. Today’s materialism actually denies spiritual realities, and can so claim to not be destroying anything—Why. Do you think I would destroy this planet where my family lives! You are crazy! I just don’t accept the science. there’s just to many unanswered questions… etc.
Ways To Control What Is Left Of Democracy
The intentionally designed, lobotomized right wing requires thought control to keep the vast and varying interest of life on earth, including its people, unawares of manipulation of self identity scripts and narratives. Instead we get purity test for conservative “credentials”. This is how fascism is made from Democracy; eliminate church and state boundaries, eliminate state and corporate boundaries, eliminate abstraction and reality boundaries, then control the detached individuals fear and imagination parameters.
Now people can be organized and manipulated by providing them with fear and insecurity projections toward what you wish. Right wing think tanks spend good money on figuring out how to say things to you so that you will think like they do. This is best done through faith venues; such as church and business economic interest click’s. Otherwise; stress in the population is to be tagged to liberal ideas and diverted from conservative ones–the ones that provide thought control automatically.
.
Consider those who say we all must contribute a fair share to maintaining the health of this earth and its inhabitants–these must be portrayed as taking from your now castrated view of the self identity and awareness of realities principles of union. A wealthy person may use this earth a million times more than I do, yet essentially only want to give back what I do; Why that is only fair! Cut (my) taxes!
The detached individual can easily feel that taxes take from them and give to others. It is a “No Brainer”. It is no stretch for an imagination devoid of the deep connection in the realities of Being. These folks are actually slaves to a profit–(corporate/individual levied tax) which is separation centered and not interested in maintaining the health and wellbeing of The Commons. It is instead; interested in maintaining the separated individuals ego as an achiever or winner of goods and services that no one has any business minding themselves about–(cancer to The Commons).
They (conservatives in general and the right wing especially) must ignore and deny or reject their accountability to The Commons, except in abstract cognitive dissonance avoiding generalizations. And this is what we are left with; people who must deny science and those interested in the health of the whole society or the whole planet. They will cherry pick facts, usually calling them the real truth!, often needing only one to “prove” their own confirmation bias, with a shame and blame narrative for those liberals, (to assist in the cognitive dissonance mitigation of those with truncated identities). They are then left with the passion that besets Appearance Reality designer facts that prop up the emotive narrative for the Rights Consensus Realities frames.
The likes of Arizona’s two “conservative” senator ideologues, one somewhat coherent and the other maverickly mixed up, these are wed to a truncated world perspective; including the mind, heart and soul contamination of fantasy that goes along with it. They seem detached to their worlds of isolated consciousness, where the value and moral ethos to life here in Arizona and the USA is; Your money or your life; Your money is your value; Your money is your worth. Your money depicts you moral and ethical worth. Your money decides your life; your health care, your food, your shelter. Your money defines whether you live or die.
This is why the Dry-rot Of Civilization Is Conservatism; for in the mistaken attempt to conserve a one way thought pattern, it actually cuts off the fully integral nature of Being, of Existence, claiming there is nothing new nor nothing real of value outside its singular cosmological and or spiritual perspective.
The blood of Life becoming stagnant. The fungus of fear and insecurity nesting throughout perspective and cognition, leading to heart hardening, while blood is reduce to thought. This problem made of itself to its life, now taken out on others, unable to address how they themselves were seduced to the position that they know it all, and need not hear you or I.
And so we have the hate and fear mongers of this day; They are serving the life of the fungus and not of the Spirit.
From Arizona With Love
