While the Republican party is touting its role to now lead the way of bringing government closer to The People, the Supreme Court has given more confirmation that the corporation is a person with inalienable rights, like the right to free speech expressed through purchasing power in the media markets.
As we proceed with a clear need for bureaucratic power to cut through the stasus of bivariate politics, the corporate will be annointed with the task. Both devil and savior, it will be the continued tautology of the good and efficiently benevolent private sector versus the evil and disfunctionally malevolent public sector always looking to rob us all of our wealth.
There is nothing new about this conservative narrative turned into deliberate reality. What is new is a comedic convergence of the two parties into a bogus competition for the populist element.
The neo-conservative element, now gaining support from the highest echelon of the judiciary, is becoming the well-established standard for deviation. The old conservative way of assuaging populist sentiment with the always failed expectation of trickle-down economics is completely passe'.
Arguing that the call for a reduced budget deficit is largely a function of reduced spending, or less government, rather than the need for tax increases is recognizably old-school conservative, but independents recognize its lack of credibility.
In order to gain credibility, the conservative message has to merge with a populist message like President Obama's. His State of the Union speech tends to support the hypothesis.
The president declared amnesty for corporate bureaucrats that have engaged in a clearly criminal-like behavior. Combined with the support of the Supreme Court, this is the formula for injustice and an arrogant impunity to the extreme.
As a too-big-to-fail corporate continues to consolidate, all this government support will prove to be inimical to civil society with the civil service in Ivy-League to administer a legitimacy of power neo-conservatively transformed. The promise of both parties to bring power closer to The People will be accomplished with a corporate crush regarded as the right to self-determination with the power of The People reduced to an inalienable predestination.
