Dear Editor:
What I find to be the most frustrating, irritating, and immoral about today’s political “Conservatives” is how many (not all) follow the lead of many of their biggest campaign donors/contributors. These donors contribute millions and millions to conservative “think-tanks” which are essentially fake and phony right-wing propaganda mills/factories which are disguised as unbiased, objective, and scientific research “institutes” as well as are many “foundations”, political organizations, and universities.
They have the nerve to peddle their never-ending grievance about how they are in the minority when it comes to having their views heard by the American people and how they are “outnumbered”, none of which is true.
But what insults my intelligence the most is how many of them try to hide the fact that many of them are extreme libertarians and federal government-haters. More of them than the public realizes try to hide the fact that many of them are what I refer to as “Survival-of-the-Fittest” Social Darwinists who would love to abolish, not just cut, every single federal government social program that helps the lower-classes and middle-classes—especially Social Security, which they hate the most.
