Different Narratives -

Excellent piece by Jeffrey Feldman at the Daily Kos which goes a very long way to explaining the different mindsets of, well the wingnuts and ummm just about everyone else. Feldman posits that the former think in terms of politics being a tool for the strong (White Christians) to rule over the weak (everyone else) with violence or at least an implied threat of violence never far from the surface.

Politics should be an extension of the natural order of the strong ruling over the weak. Originally, this was the case, but then the weak founds ways to use their words and their money take power away from the strong, and they slowly turned politics into an arena for taking from the strong and giving to the weak. Politics controlled by the weak is based on deceit. The only way to restore the natural order of the strong over the weak is to overturn the political order by any means necessary.
