It's the Mafia mentality...
...if not out-and-out literally the Mafia.
Watch the Godfather, Sopranos, etc. and you get what Glenn is describing in the article.
Amoral people obssessed with their own agenda, power hungry beyond belief, justifying it all by framing themselves as the victim while the true victims are weaklings, part of the game.
Violence is an honorable, foregone conclusion; the Don (ie, George Bush) may be a senile idiot, but his orders still get carried out without question.
The agenda is framed in "omerta" (ie, secrecy) & anybody bold enough to cast aspertions on the agenda gets whacked (whether literally or figuratively).
Over-thinking is bad unless it ultimately leads to a revenge scenario. Those outside the "family" are expendable.
Evil is good & good is evil. The end always justifies the means though the end is always horror.
Indeed, Sammy the Bull would be right at home with this crowd.
Though I'm afraid Sammy the Bull might not be loathsome enough (ie, too honorable) to co-exist with these vermin.
