Tom Toles Cartoon: The GOP's Plan For Non-Healthcare

The hard central "fact" of contemporary "conservatism" is its persistent perception of a socio-economic (and racial) threshold above which people deserve government assistance, and below which people deserve to die. 
The sooner the better. 

Unless conservatives are showing the next n'er-do-well The Door of Doom, they just don't "feel right."

To allay this chthonic anxiety, they resort to Human Sacrifice, 
hoping that spilled blood will placate "the angry gods," including the one they've made of themselves.

Having poked their eyes out, they fail to see  that self-generated wrath creates "the gods" who hold them thrall.
