Conservatives use speech to destroy

America has created its own brand of Taliban. Calling themselves “conservatives,” they have taken over the Republican Party and many churches. They use people like Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh to create fear and anger among the extremists, the ignorant and unbalanced with lies, distortions and disinformation.

Sarah Palin is an ignorant woman who craves attention. She was a willing tool, and now she has become a scapegoat. Rush Limbaugh is in it for the millions of dollars they pay him.

Extremists, be they Muslim or American, see themselves as martyrs to a cause and will go to any extreme to protect that cause.

Freedom of speech is essential to democracy, but conservatives have made it a weapon of mass destruction in their quest for power and wealth.
