19. The conspirators have finally had their way...
Edited on Mon Oct-31-05 07:50 AM by Q
...and by the time 2008 rolls around...democracy will have become virtually extinct.

The Neocons and Neodems have finally taken over the two major parties and are transforming the US government into an oligarchy right before our eyes. Everything we've been warned about for over 200 years is coming to pass...especially about the military/industrial complex and 'standing armies'.

Many of us have wondered since 2000 why the (new) Democratic party leadership didn't put up much of a fight about stolen elections, shadow governments and imperial presidencies. But now we can see that they were actually working with the Right towards a common goal: destroy the 'new deal', anything to do with social welfare and turn the office of president into a monarchy....with congress there to simply rubber stamp the desires of the ruling class.

The 'old' Democrats...the liberals and progressives that would never have let this happen...have been marginalized and smeared by the 'new' leadership of the party and their corporate media.

It's not defeatist to say that there's little we can do about it now besides a (peaceful) revolution. It's simply a recognition of reality.
