James von Brunn went on a shooting rampage in the District of Columbia because he hated the fucking Jews and their puppets in the Zionist Occupied Government who hand out welfare to the blacks and all the other lazy minorities and take away our freedom in the process. And also because his Social Security benefits were cut. I assume I'm not the only person who spent twenty minutes this morning googling up funny-lunatic "going Galt" posts from right-wing blogs, like the we're quitting our jobs and taking Medicare benefits early to protest government intrusion into our lives comment that was briefly famous over the winter.
Cf. Patricia Nelson Limerick's magnificent The Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West, esp. Chapter Three, "Denial and Dependence," which very astutely observes that the American West was founded on 1.) a powerful and loudly proclaimed ethic of independence, and 2.) federal subsidies.
In any event, what better way to strike at the heart of the beast than to shoot a security guard at a museum. Take that, Illuminati!
