Is Kunstler being inconsequential today? He says of the Democrats and the Republicans, "They choked to death on the toxic fumes of their own excreta." To give Kunstler his due, he is a master of the verbal jab, pummeling everyone and everything modern civilization stands for -- taking real problems and offering less than satisfying solutions.
Now, for what specific reasons have the two major parties earned his acrimony? Let's focus on one argument: that both parties claim energy independence can be reach. That Peak Oil is a myth. To Kunstler, "Both parties are lying. Reality knows that the shale oil "game changer" is a mirage." Reality knows? Wherein resides the consciousness other than in humans beings that can evaluate and 'know?' Here is a very convincing counterargument -- coming from such a knowing consciousness -- against the Peak Oil position: http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/03/29/the-myth-of-peak-oil/
Where is Kunstler coming from? He appears to have an aversion to anything industrial; a preference for anything that can be made without the use of a machine -- forgeting that hands, at least initially, made machines. So, if human culture reverted to such a 'world made by hand,' machine making would have to be banned -- violations of such bans meriting punishment.
He appears to have a tendency to advocate the use of law (force) to 'guide' humans in that direction. In the past he has advocated that the automobile be banned so that human beings would be forced to use public transportation -- nevermine their crime prone history.
In article after article he envisions Mother Nature or Gaia taking retribution on humans for environmental 'violations.' In the conclusion of this article he puffs, "The storm churning through the Gulf of Mexico may remind us just how large and uncontrollable the forces of nature are as the curtain rises on the political season of a grievously misled nation."

Beginning of the headline :
Meet the new third party in national politics: Reality. Reality is the only party with an agenda consistent with what is actually happening in the world.Reality doesn't need to drum up dollar donations from anyone.Reality doesn't have to pander to any interest group or subscribe to any inane belief system...
