I think it likely that Faith is simply demonstrating the inherent irrationality of the modern American "conservative." Faith is revealing her brainwashing.
Corporate powers want to destroy the government so that they can operate without restraint. Corporate powers have
always worked to either own the government or destroy what they can't have. They have convinced
social conservatives that
economic liberalism - which is what gave this country environmental protections, a minimum wage, the 40-hour work week, workplace safety standards, social security, etc., etc - is the same thing as
social liberalism. Basically, starting at least as far back as the Nixonian Southern Strategy, they have harnessed the fear and hatred that social conservatives feel (or can be trained to feel) for hippies, dark folks, non-submissive women, gays, and anyone else who's "different" and used it to get these same social conservatives to hate the very economic and political policies that have benefited them for generations. Why else do you think that bankrupt farmers and unemployed autoworkers can be convinced time after time to vote for candidates who are going to do everything possible to enable corporations to export jobs, pillage the economy and lay waste to the environment - basically to make life even worse for these same voters? All you have to do is to promise to outlaw abortion and you're in.
Corporate interests have the advantage, as they own the media and pretty much all of the government already. At this point there is no genuine left wing political representation left in this country. With one or two exceptions - Bernie Sanders, Barney Frank - all we really have are moderate Republicans (who call themselves Democrats) and batshit crazy Republicans. Compared to most of the rest of the First World, there are no real liberals in power at all. Real liberal policies, things like environmental protection, a sane healthcare system, and alternative energy, have no chance of happening.
Maybe someday, when this country is a smoking, stagnant, Third World trash heap, the conservatives dupes who bought Beck's and Limbaugh's cry to arms that trying to provide affordable healthcare to the majority of this country's citizens is the same thing as sending grandma to the gas chambers will finally realize too late how they've been lied to and used. Probably not, but maybe. Just keep telling these brainwashed saps that fascist liberals are trying to force them all into gay marriages and turn their children into evolutionist witches, and they'll let you rape their retirement funds every time.
