When things go bad, scapegoats ... immigrants and gays

I seem to recall there is a tendency for politicians and people to find scapegoats when things go wrong. Usually these scapegoats are minorities of all flavors. Immigrants are the current diversion tactic. Sometimes, as in the case of gas prices, Democratic politicians try to put it on big business to show their regular people populism. But under a conservative administration usually all the blame gets put on the little guys on the fringe of every flavor and color. The Constitutional Amendment banning same sex marriage -- discussion of it says, look it's not my privileged straight ass' fault, it's the gays' fault. I'm not predicting anything, but things are so bad that I don't doubt that all except the core of this administration's target demographic will be blamed.

I, for one, think we should turn it around. This time around it's not scapegoating. It's the truth. And it's not the fault of the fringe, it's the fault of the big middle. The damn red-state, church-going idiots of this country are to be blamed. For starters, they should take their medicine having control of both houses of congress taken away from their corrupt minions.
