You have touched on a string that was the catalyst for the justiication of an ideology. What a better way to demonize those who hold the power of the world by a bunch of backwoods wannabees. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you and it goes back to the liberalization of our society in that it has incrementally torn away at the fabric which made ours the best and most powerful nation in history. Only we have the ability to fix it.
Basaed on what I have seen, it is a strategy of what I call the sharp elbows crowd, street fighters who push others out of the way to get ahead. One way they disable the competition is to lie about morals and spread the word than anything goes. Then they step over the bodies of those who fall for their lies.
