It's the last thing they want.
You see, there are no 'liberal/conservative', 'republican/democrat' divisions. Those are more an illusion now than substantive. Sure, there are some philosophical differences between liberalism and conservatism, but the country is not divided along those particular philosophical lines.
Right now, people are being brainwashed to
think that it's 'conservative' to ignore international law, history, human rights, and even the Constitution. They're being instilled with a 'sports fan' mentality that has them defending policies and practices that no true conservative ever would... simply because they support the 'Republican Team'.
There is a segment of the population so blinded by team loyalty right now that they will fight against anyone they're told is 'on the other side'. Unfortunately, this manufactured division is helping the
real criminals get away.
The corporations.
Right now, pharmacuetical, insurance, energy companies, and, until recently, banks have been having the time of their lives fleecing
all of us. But while those of us who are paying attention are calling for measures to reign the corps in, the propaganda machine in control has their rabidly loyal troops fight back against reforms that are
in all the people's best interest.That's right, we are at $4/gallon gas right now, but the 'right' is being programmed to think it has to do with people that don't want more drilling. The fact of the matter is that if more refineries were built to alleviate the supply bottleneck, or if Iraq's oil were allowed back online, we could see $1/gallon gas again. When defense contractors own the media, damn straight they're going to promote war.
They don't want the country to know that though... because then they wouldn't be a profitable.
So, they (through their media proxies), maintain illusory divisions to ensure that nothing is done. Unfortunately, there are plenty of Americans who simply aren't interested, or don't have the time to learn about these issues. If people did, everyone would be a little more 'progressive', and the corporations would have to find ways to be
honest and profitable.
Fat chance of that when they can write profitability into the law and control what most Americans see and hear.
Here are some links I recommend, go ahead and cross-check the facts... everyone should be able to tell how valid a source is;
