I'm Stumped (and out-paranoided by the Right)

A couple days ago, I stumbled across this paranoid and hyperbolicious ultraconservative website:

LIFE WITH BIG BROTHER
Why is National Guard recruiting for 'internment' cops?
Ad campaign seeks workers at 'civilian resettlement facility'

An ad campaign featured on a U.S. Army website seeking those who would be interested in being an "Internment/Resettlement" specialist is raising alarms across the country, generating concerns that there is some truth in those theories about domestic detention camps, a roundup of dissidents and a crackdown on "threatening" conservatives.

I've been wrestling with it ever since. On the one hand, there are Haliburton-built Detainment camps on U.S. soil. The idea that they would ever be used to hold U.S. citizens is chilling... and it's likely that that's exactly what they were built to do. So they've got a point.

On the other hand, they were built by Haliburton during the Bush years. They certainly weren't built with an eye towards locking up Conservatives.

The right-wing site I linked to shows a pretty fundamental inability to know what Liberals are all about. I mean, it's hard to promote equality, multiculturalism, personal freedom and civil rights when you're locking people up for their beliefs. So, it seems unlikely that locking up conservatives is the secret agenda of the Liberal Elite.

On top of that, one can easily and non-conspiratorially explain why the National Guard is recruiting "Internment/Resettlement" specialists. We keep sending the National Guard into Iraq and Afghanistan, to forcibly resettle and incarcerate people. How else would they recruit people for those jobs, than by taking out adds to recruit people for those jobs. I wish we wouldn't recruit and send people, but until the government stops doing that (which, I'll note, many conservatives don't want them to stop doing), they're gonna have to recruit people to do it.

And so I'm stumped. Do I say:

• "This is the kind of shit that was scaring me when your guy was in the White House. Now you understand why it's bad. We've found some common ground. Let's work together to keep this from happening to anyone. We can make a better America, where we all feel safe."

or do I just say

• "Chicken's come home to roost, bitches!"
