Good grief: take a breath. Shrieking that FDIC is entirely safe and sound because the treasury has pledged an additional $500B with which to buy broken banks is missing the point of what the American people are well and truly scared of, just a lil smidgen, don’t you think?

No, it is not missing the point, it is making it. Men are deliberately spreading false stories about the FDIC and its solvency because they want to scream doom. And they are utter rogues to do it.

They could talk about Obama raising taxes. They could talk about cap and trade and how it isn't justified by anything but smoke and rumor mongering and panic. They could talk about how dumb new middle class entitlements are at such a point in the economic cycle, or for that matter ever.

But they aren't. Notice this please. They only attack things that all decent men want to work. They only attack things that Bush and Obama have in common. They only attack the institutions of *finance* and *capital*. Why? They attack an utterly sound banking system and try to make men panic about it. Why? Because they are not even interested in politics. They are interest solely and entirely in spreading *hatred of the rich* and *disloyalty* to the country.

At bottom, the reason they only compete in screaming doom is they hate modern American civilization for not needing them or listening to them. They are making precisely the immoral mistake the left made over Iraq, screaming against their own country because it didn't put them on power. Nothing more, nothing less.

And I for one will not put up with it or pretend it is compatible with elementary human decency. It isn't, it is obscene. And those engaged in it have no claim to the status of "conservative".
