" In Times of War, Truth is so precious it has to be protected by a
Bodyguard of Lies".So said Winston Churchill.And we may want to remember he was fighting for his country's very survival against the Nazi War Machine. We now have a debased version of this in operation where Rove and his imbecilic hordes in the lapdog Press are strewing diversions like Evolution, Abortion, Homosexuality, Affirmative action and what have you to hide their true agenda which is to establish a permanent Parallel Government beholden and accountable to no one.It will be financed by the tax cuts for large corporations and rich individuals who want periodic wars to build ever more lethal instruments of war at astronomical prices.Concurrently, a mammoth transfer of wealth from the poor and the Middle Income Americans to the wealthy would be accomplished.The deliberate impoverishment of the American people will be accompanied by praise for the reduction of the size of the Federal Government by the usual culprits on Wall Street.

1. A strong middle class could act as quite an anchor to the agenda
which you have so perfectly laid out.... no... they don't want a strong, educated, informed middle class... they want what they have now... fearful, head in the sand, unduly patriotic, overly intolerant, self-absorbed masses that they are grooming right now. Did I miss anything??

2. Our ability to think is being seriously undermined by the chattering
Edited on Tue Nov-16-04 09:39 PM by KlatooBNikto
giggling blondes on TV and the self absorbed Prima Donnas like Maureen Dowd in the Press.A middle class soaked in its prejudices and its elevation of money to the exclusion of every other value, is going to be an ally of the RW agenda.But I take heart in the fact that nearly fifty percent of our people have seen through their deceptions in the elections of 2004.May be a lot of us are still awake.

3. Principled people with strong convictions, jumping ship for others
evictions, stepping in to fill the void, the loyalty oaths and other oafs, willing to do, what me and you, have seen before, you know the score, another Johnson, another Nixon, come on Donder, come on Blitzen....
