And the Democrats manage to fool another 45%...

And it's all made possible because we have a two party pretend democracy that is mostly financed by and for the benefit of the 1%. Or to put it more acuratly... Rich predators tax cuts at work!

The right wing authoritarian idol worshipering democrats think that it should be...

A message board where you never question what an elected democrat says or does.

Because, when they put a "D" in front of their name, like magic, a politician becomes incapable of doing anything nefarious, acting like a republican for instance, or selling out the livelihoods of your supporters to the predator class because you could never get elected without their financial help.

And because if you have a "D" in front of your name, you could never stir up a hornets nest, arm terrorist, or goto war for unjust causes while claiming your spreading Democracy; only republican politicians do that.

Other democrats think that this board is a place where you can discuss the issues, share your concerns, and occasionally find a little bit of truth, as well as some common ground.

And yes some of us tend to not be blind followers, or some politicians parrot, that just means that someone else is going to get their feathers rubbed.

Turning the rudder on a ship that has sailed off course is one thing...

But turning it onto a reef doesn't put it back on course, it puts holes in it, and then the ship starts to sink. At which time, blowing holes in a sinking ship isn't making progress if your goal is to stop the ship from sinking!

But if you insist on staying with "off course", a sinking ship is also off course. Instead of going across the ocean, its going to the bottom of the ocean, and turning the rudder isn't going to save it. Of course, denial and magical thinking can make you think otherwise.

Good luck with your off course thinking, you will have a lot of company when reality finally sinks in.

And people who support poster boys for greed and incompetence are also part of the problem...

And people who support people who are part of the problem are also part of the problem, etc. etc...

They don't want to go against the President, the Republicans, the banksters, or the 1%.

It's like, who do we think all these bought and paid for puppet politicians in our pretend democracy should be working for, the 99%?

Dream on!

How has Free trade, repealing Glass Steagal, and media deregulation lifted up the middle class?

Remember, that all happened under a democrat who, like republicans, sold the working folks out to the highest bidder. And the deregulated media told us how good it was going to be for us all. To bad that,"us all" ment the 1% and fuck the rest.

And instead of prosecuting white collar criminals, Democrats have carried on the long time tradition of Republicans who reward criminals with cabinet positions. How has that lifted up the middle class?

And how has, protecting war criminals while going after and prosecuting whistle blowers, lifted up or protected the middle class.

"The Working Folks know who is looking out for them!" Your kidding right? Because the last time I checked, Working Folks are deeply devided over ideological fantasies, fairy tales, and bigotry etc.

And most of them just can't seem to figure out, that, when the 1% pumps billions of ill-gotten dollars into the campaign coffers of both political parties, it's not because they want to lift up or preserve the middle class. It's because they want to give workers the illusion of choice! Do you want to be screwed by one of our blue puppets who likes gays, or a red puppet who hates gays?

There's a patern to be seen alright, and it's not the differences between the two parties that is going to destroy the middle class, it's where the two parties line their pockets, and sell us out to the 1%.

And Obama is very much apart of the two party illusion, and he is not on the side working folks. At best, he is just not against us as much as other republicans, so as far as the two party illusion goes, that's suppose to make him a democrat.

It's impolite to discuss to big to fail ponzi schemes...

Especially when the said ponzi scheme just happens to be the monetary system we the sheepeople are so fond of, even though it robes them blind and turns them into debt slaves.

If the money printers wanted to be objective they would put "In Banksters We Trust" on it...

However, people might start seeing our ponzi scheme monetary system for what it really is, and the monetary predators that benefit from peoples ignorance wouldn't like that.

I distinctly remember watching the news on the night of 911...

And I distinctly remember the "conversations on the news" about demolishing building 7 prior to its collapse.

They even gave a thirty minute warning!

And when it came down there was no big surprise, because they knew it was coming down.

So the question I have is this... Why did they Chang the story? Could it be that they changed the story because, and I'm guessing now, someone high up in the history rewriting department was asked a not so stupid questions.

1. Why do demolition companies take months and months of meticulous planning and prepping prior to the actual demolition date.

And 2. Where could you find a demolition crew on such a short notice, that was stupid enough to carry tons of high explosives into a burning building, and then properly place and wire the explosives in just a few hours time, even though that kind of job takes months and months to compleat evin when their not working in a burning building.

In other words, if building 7 was demolished buy a demolition crew, the explosives had to have been put in place, and wired to explode prior to 911. So I'm guessing that not even the best of the best history rewright conartist could convince anyone, other then the take your breath away stupid crowd, that 911 was not an inside job.

Oh but what luck for the guilty rulers, that the story changed so quickly, for the truth so unimaginably painful, when changed soon enough.., eyes and ears will soon forget what was really seen and heard.

Besides, a history rewritten is far more palatable then a truth that exposes an evil that could not otherwise be imagined, so go back to sleep if you must, and believe whatever the leaders and rewrights tell you. But do remember this old saying... "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it."
