They want a holy war.

Any way they can get it.

There was a great book from the 1930s called “The Day of the Locust”. There was a passage at the end of the book that, for me at least, presaged the Teabaggers.

‘Their boredom became more and more terrible. They realize they’ve been tricked and they burn with resentment. Every day of their lives they read the newspapers and went to the movies. Both fed them on lynchings, murder, sex crimes, explosions, wrecks, love nests, fires, miracles, revolutions, wars. This daily diet made sophisticates of them. The sun is a joke. Oranges can’t titillate their jaded palates. Nothing can ever be violent enough to make taut their slack minds and bodies. They have been cheated and betrayed. They have slaved and saved for nothing…….All those poor devils who can only be stirred by the promise of miracles and then only to violence…..a super “Dr. Know-All-Pierce-All” had made the necessary promise and they were marching behind his banner in a great united front of screwballs to purify the land. No longer bored, they sang and danced joyously in the red light of the flames.’

A nice apocalyptic vision, don’t you think? The book was published in 1939, written by Nathanael West.
