Is this real? Limbaugh attacks the military.

[Razgovory]

Was it last week or the week before when Yi suggested that the military is paid to much?  I've always suspected that the radical budget hawks would turn their knives on military pay and benefits if they thought they could get away with it.  It's such a big piece of the pie.

Raz is good people. Usually.

Some of his voices are.

What's wrong with attacking the military?

There is definitely some room to criticize military spending, including pay and benefits.

You're taking their jobs.

I was a Limbaugh fan back in my misguided youth, so I know his playbook pretty well...

I could believe him saying all of that, as he often uses extreme exaggeration to make a point...that's just part of his schtick.

[Razgovory]

I do. I don't see anything positive there.

Are you new here?

Raz' entire organizing principle, his secular religion, is demonization of the right.

Think of it as a Raz D'etat.

Perhaps, the fiscalnistas tend to shy away from that.  They have been careful about forging an alliance with the rest of the conservative movement, they  can get their foot in the door taking about "spending" in a vague way or going on about the foreign aid or welfare.  They start a major push for cutting military benefits, they lose the alliance.  Maybe when they've gotten rid of social security they can carve up Derspeiss's military benefits, but not yet.  Not now.

I think of it more as a raz-on d'etre.

[Admiral Yi]

The message I'm getting from you Raz is that were Republicans to cut military pay and benefits, that would make them bad people, but as it is, they're to afraid to do so, which makes them bad people. 

[Razgovory]

They already bad people, they just with to hid it from their fellows.

[Jacob]

Didn't think you had it in you

[Admiral Yi]

They already bad people, they just with to hid it from their fellows.

Then what is the relationship of their badness to cutting military pay and benefits?

[Razgovory]

I do. I don't see anything positive there.

Yeah I screwed that one up.  That's what I meant.  I'm not good with French.

Fellow Conservatives would see it as bad.  It's my opinion that the real, honest to God fiscal conservatives are rare, but ride the coat tails of the general conservative movement.  They can make common cause talking about the cutting welfare and such hopefully pick up the adherents here and there.  Once they cut the "Welfare" programs, they hope to move on to more popular ones, like social security and the like.  Eventually they'll put their "fellow" conservatives on the chopping block as well cutting military pensions pay.  It's sort of like the Popular Front strategy the Reds used to use.
