Thom Hartmann: There are No Communists - but a Heck of a lot of Fascists in Congress!



Representative Allen West says there are 80 or so Communists that have taken over Congress. And - while he's wrong about Communists in Congress - he's not far off when it comes to other radicals in Congress

When corporations and government are merged to the benefits of the oligarchs(corporate owners), fascism then exists.

RT is carried all over the world, just like Al-Jazeera, the BBC and France24. The problem is with American uncuriousness. Dubya wasn't startlingly ignorant and uncurious of the world about him, he was typical of the average American. Half of Americans are content with what FOX tells them to think, and the other half barely look beyond CNN and USA Today. Those of us who catch Thom Hartmann, Max Keiser, Alyona, and the Beeb are few and far between.

uncurious is so apt.
I've long thought oblivious was the description, but that is the symptom. The reason is they are uncurious.
thanks for making my day a little clearer
