- Crackpot Realism Is Riding High by Robert Higgs
 Jul 6, 12:06am  (8 reviews) http://www.lewrockwell.com/higgs/higgs68...- Crackpot Realism - "Mills's key insight was that although such people have indeed been movers and shakers, they have moved and shaken within such a constricted milieu of experience and training that in most respects they are fools." -- This doesn't just apply to appointed bureaucrats but, to all the elected officials who are systematically trained through the mechanizations of the bureaucratic and hegemonic to believe and function in a way that serves the ruling class at the expense of ideals; democracy, justice, accountability, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness etc.
Though the "self-anointed "deciders"" are not exactly self appointed and nether did 'We the People' appoint them they still rule in this quasi-fascist corporatist oligarchical republic called the USA.
"Crackpot realists never learn anything, even when the lessons are cuffing them roughly about the head and shoulders. They continue to pile on more of the same actions that got them into trouble in the first place, expecting to be seen as Churchillian heroes for staying the idiotic course they have set. They keep spinning the bad news, year after year after year, wearing out entire battalions of press officers, until they finally escape from the morass by leaving office. Afterward, they heap blame on their successors for "losing China" or "cutting and running.""
