A sad day with what happened to Keith but again the right is currently winning the battles
Edited on Sat Jan-22-11 04:51 PM by EV_Ares
and the war with their total united front against a un-united left, liberals, progressives and dems. It was just announced out of the ten most influential people in America, Limbaugh and Beck were in that group of 10. See link:

http://forum.globaltimes.cn/forum/showthread.php?t=24055

Regardless, if the dems and left do not get a united front, all groups, races and others, we will be completely powerless to do anything in the future.

They pretty much control the media, possibly will control all branches of government including the majority as they do now of the statehouses. The Supreme Court majority acts without shame and appear to be free to go any way they want.

We can bitch and complain all we want but until we really do act in some manner and get those powers-that-be to act, it is over.

8. I am not sure there are really two parties anymore that are truly independent of external influence
i.e. the DLC "Third Way™" infiltration on the 'left' and AEI "Teabaggers®" on the 'right'.

I sense we are ALL being played for suckers.

2. It's the neoliberals who are winning.
The lords and masters of both the moderates and the right.

5. You want a united front?
LMFAO.. yeah you'll be able to unite progressives, as soon as reality reverses itself.

You see there are things I cannot abide by but they are happily cheered on by supposed "progressives". And I bet there are a lot of people like me.

You want real progressives to join the Obama progressives? Never happen. Wars, friends to business, torture, legal assassination, the left would actually have to be the left if they wanted progressives to "get with the program".

7. Then you can just accept what the far right gives you and settle for that.
Edited on Sat Jan-22-11 05:03 PM by EV_Ares
Maybe that is what you want and like, don't know but if you stay divided and fight each other you won't even be around long to make a difference anyway.

10. Um.. it's not me who is "accepting" what is given...
I'm not the one kissing Obama's ass. He's too far right for me. At this point I'm advocating dropping off the grid, or hoping for an alien invasion. I don't see enough people wanting to fight to make it worth while. People are too happy watching Idol and buying crap they don't need to boost a fake economy.
