"Bad conscience" over 3000 murders of 9/11 and near-million Iraqi killings is sublimated/self-excused/psychologically-displaced by "utopian visions" of "positive" and "good" from "creating new value(-feeling)s" ...or as Michael Ledeen calls it: "Creative destruction" (...all this a vulgar extension of Nietzsche's "Philosophy with a hammer" which sounds "lollipop-tasty" to traditional Military-Industrial-Complex moral-morons like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and stooge Dubya ["easier...as long as I'm the dictator"], all usurping a dilletantish "fresh pseudo-intellectual mask" of neo-conservatism to cover for radical conservativism** and traditional, raw, war-profiteering instincts.)

Hijacked Republicans:
There are three extreme factions. Because of limited space, I am going to talk only about two of them. One is the extreme fiscal conservatives. Conservatives generally support lower taxes, fiscal responsibility, and limits to spending, but they also support good government where needed, with accountability for results. The second extreme faction is the neoconservative wing of the administration, the one currently responsible for implementing the Bush Doctrine of preemptive war. They believe in a role for ‘total war’ in the establishment of what amounts to a new American empire; they are overt about this and use these words themselves. They held these beliefs way before 9/11; in fact they have writings stating the need for something like 9/11 to happen so that they could implement their vision. (The third extreme faction is the far right wing of the party on social agendas and issues of civil liberties, which has its highest representation in John Ashcroft as Attorney General. Conservatives generally have a high interest in increasing morality in their culture, but they also traditionally believe that government does not function best when it is taking away civil liberties. )
Here are current administration players in their own words. Grover Norquist is the mastermind of the radical fiscal policies
[tax cuts for wealthy during wartime], behind which there is definitely a hidden agenda
[starve the beast of revenues for social programs]. He is a Washington power broker who oversees coordination of administration players through a weekly breakfast
[Wednesday mornings], attended by all branches of government. Michael Ledeen is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a major think tank, and
influential with Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz. Paul Weyrich is founder of the Heritage Foundation, which has itself been at times called a shadow government, due to its influence with leaders.
"I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it to the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub."
Grover Norquist, on NPR 2001
“Creative destruction is our middle name, both
within our society and
abroad. We tear down the old order every day
[Rumsfeld's "Old Europe"]], from business to science, literature, art, architecture, and cinema, to politics and the law
[unwarranted suspension of habeas corpus]. Our enemies have always hated this whirlwind of energy and creativity which menaces their traditions (whatever they may be)
[Geneve Conventions] and shames them for their inability to keep pace. … [W]e must destroy them to advance our historic mission.
[sounding like Nazism?]”
Michael Ledeen“We are different from previous generations of conservatives. We are no longer working to preserve the status quo. We are radicals, working to overturn the present power structure of this country.”
Paul WeyrichThis might not sound so alarming, unless you realize that
they carry no great allegiance to the structures of democracy, nor to the Constitution. Or unless you realize that they carry great influence and can see the traces of that influence in the actual of the administration...

The Presidential Papers of Dwight David Eisenhower (links and emphasis added):
...Now it is true that I believe this country is following a dangerous trend when it permits too great a degree of centralization of governmental functions. I oppose this--in some instances the fight is a rather desperate one. But to attain any success it is quite clear that the Federal government cannot avoid or escape responsibilities which the mass of the people firmly believe should be undertaken by it. The political processes of our country are such that if a rule of reason is not applied in this effort, we will lose everything--even to a possible and drastic change in the Constitution. This is what I mean by my constant insistence upon "moderation" in government. Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas.5 Their number is negligible and they are stupid...Dwight David Eisenhower, 1954, Presidential Papers
