Alito is confirmed. And so it begins...

With Alito's confirmation, Bush has pushed the Supreme Court clearly to the right. Now the real agenda begins.

Maybe Alito's confirmation wouldn't be so troubling if we didn't see footage of all those church members cheering. It's pretty obvious that Alito is EXPECTED to help install a new theocracy.

Not that that is why he was really nominated. Abortion (and religion) is just the grease the right-wing extremists use to squeeze in their REAL agenda: a total corporatocracy.

(Bush almost screwed up royally with Meiers, who was a lure for religious support but turned out to be quite liberal on other issues--which would have undermined the ultimate goal of corporatocracy.)

So, first we'll endure all this pandering to the religious vote: end of abortion, imposed prayer in schools, meaningless posting of Ten Commandments everywhere, etc. None of this gets in the way of establishing the corporatocracy.

Once the Holy Party is firmly entrenched and unchallenged, they will gut the system. But all the phony Christian packaging will remain. And sadly, the Christian zombies won't ever realize the unholy construct they helped create.

Assuming, of course, that the liberals and/or Democrats can't reverse this process. And given their total lack of fortitude, that's a fair assumption.
