A MESSAGE FROM REPUBLICANS: NOW IS THE TIME TO HATE YOUR GOVERNMENT

As citizens buy into the "I hate government" mantra they create a vacuum that gets filled by opportunist corporate "persons". It's a wonderful plan... just not for 99% of Americans. It seems like Liberals are submissive by nature and the Militia of the the Terrible Two Year Olds is the opposite.

Maybe I'm wrong but, a lot of us thought the Cheney Administration was up to no good (imagine that) and yet I don't remember the kind of backlash we see now as a right wing moderate (Barack Obama) tries to lower the cost and expand the ability of Americans to stay alive.

Don't tell anybody but... I think a depressingly large portion of Americans are morons. The product of the dominance of capitalism and the indoctrination of the religion self gratification. The Orwellian inversion of values- war is peace, ignorance is intelligence, more is better.

The balance to this "buy my shit" philosophy is the public sector. Take PBS--say what you will--but under the "free market" who pays to deliver the other side of the story? Expand that further.

The gist of my message is that the public sector is vital to balance the "he with the money makes the rules and creates the reality" option.

THE PROBLEM: Getting people, decent people, interested in managing the public sector for us. And what prevents that? Corporate influence! Hate the government love the corporation.

It's a fundamental social issue and countering the corporate pledge of allegiance is not funded or promoted to the same extent (hence the fairness doctrine) as "buy my shit or you're a Communist".

As a matter of fact I DARE YOU to ask any fucking wing nut what the "fairness doctrine is"! Your answer is submitted as evidence exhibit A.
