Dean Miller

Public Enemy #1 Dean Miller

Throughout the history of United States, society has generally consisted of two types of organizations: public and private. The public sector has encompassed governments, courts, libraries, public schools, and national parks. The private sector included businesses, churches, foundations, and private schools. The public and private sectors have coexisted for centuries with few conflicts.

Recently, however, religious/political conservatives have demonstrated a surprisingly bitter animosity toward the public sector as a whole. Public schools, public libraries, public television and more are subjects of their vitriol.

Through privatization of the public sector, and deregulation of the private sector, religious/political conservatives would create a private ruling class that is not accountable to the general public through the traditional democratic process. The goal is privatization of government itself, isolating government from public scrutiny. A facade of religious moral values surrounding the religious/political conservatives tends to disarm suspicions and discredit alarmists. But sound the alarm!

Many are deceived by the religious cloak of a radical political movement. A political coup is taking shape, a literal revolution, and many people aren?t even aware of it. Worse yet, some believe that what is happening is for the common good!
