It's all about payback.
It's all about using America's financial distress to achieve unfair political advantage.
Conservative politicians aren't sponsoring anti-public union legislation in several states because of budget problems.
And conservative Congresspersons aren't seeking to defund National Public Radio just to deny a few million dollars in federal subsidies to an independent network uninfluenced by advertising revenues.
No, those efforts are thinly disguised punishments for unions and broadcast journalists supporting or airing liberal or moderate ideas, issues, programs and actions.
Or--horrors--not supporting right-wing causes.
Conservative can't stand the fact that most Americans don't want to become corporate coolies in a Third World country. (20 MARCH 2011)
