A tidbit for those who think there is no such thing as a modern day conspiracy.

350 Turkish police officers were busted in a massive corruption conspiracy.  At least their relatives had the good sense to resign from political positions as it is certain they were dirty too.  This is part and parcel of the end of liberalism and progressivism as the world has known it for decades.  The debt Ponzi has collapsed and it is debt that feeds liberalism because real conservatives feed and care for themselves.  That is really the truth of it.  When the funny money is being created from thin air, any asshat can look like a genius.  It was a short selling of talent.  Now that the debt Ponzi is collapsing in the US and abroad, personal skill will again matter.  Personal vision and competence will be rewarded.  Bureaucrats and bankers and worthless, haughty academics will get marginalized again.  There is bound to be some turbulence as the pendulum changes direction but make no mistake: this is a healing action and it will lead to more self sufficiency, more skilled worker who stop fvcking around in school when they should be learning something, etc.  People never appreciate things that you give them before they earned it.  That's human nature 101.

Liberals and progressives are going to get creamed in 2014.  The foolish people first tried Crony RINOs then they tried Socialist Obama.  Now they are going to have to start looking at candidates 1x1 instead of voting down party lines.  This will give party outsiders like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul a fighting chance at leadership positions so we can wind this liberal crap down.
