Watching the news feeds from CPAC, I think it's hard for most of us to understand how the attendees can be as delusional as they appear at first glance. How is "I want [Obama] to fail" anything approaching a sane thought in today's economic climate? How can Conservatives, who claim to love America, seem unconcerned with anything except the accumulation of political power?
Are they evil? Opportunistic? Fundamentally uncaring about what happens to the rest of America? Some days, it really looks that way.
But I suspect that most of them are doing what they truly believe is right, even if that sounds sociopathic to many of us. Follow me below the fold for a logical exploration of what's driving these people.
