I think what we're seeing with these people is a resurgence of the death of the American Dream that Dr. HST wrote about it. I mean, forget the signs....look at these people. Ralph Steadman couldn't have done a better job in characterizing these Dream killers.
One A.G. sized up the Baggers and wrote to Josh Marshall:
"...it was an angry group with a real sense of absolute entitlement.... that they deserve to be the dominant deciders and that it's being taken away."
Protagoras famously proclaimed, "The human being is the measure of all things -- of the things that are, that they are, of the things that are not, that they are not."
The Baggers cut it down: perversely ignorant hostile RW Southern Christian white man is their measure, and Obama is just too big for them.
Nice! Think I'll put this one in the morning post.
