...such as abortion, gay rights--are issues about which most of our politicians could care less.
Those issues are used to incite, inflame and motivate the party faithful into believing that there are major differences between the parties. Social issues these days are the shiny objects that get the masses to the polls. These shiny objects also cause a glint in our eye and often prevent us from seeing the truth.
The truth is...both parties have been almost 100 percent engulfed by corporate, Fascist interests who are dismantling our democracy, brick by brick. The corporatist Dems and the corporatist Republicans are united in deed and goal. They further corporate interests, perpetuate money-making wars and erode our democracy. That's what they do. That is what is being done right in front of our eyes.
If there was a powerful contingent of Republicans or Dems that was against this sort of nonsense, it would have ended by now, or they would have spoken up by now.
"We The People" are not heard anymore. They do not care about. They only care about their corporate masters. They will give us speeches, throw out pleas during election time--but basically they detest us and think of us as insects.
By the time the majority of Americans figure it out--and stop fighting and stop their tea partying--the neocons will be ready. They are ready. Feel like revolting or complaining about the lack of democracy--well, think again. By speaking out against the government, you can be declared an "enemy combatant" then detained indefinitely, and you have no right to an attorney. Hell, Habeas Corpus is still gone, so they don't even have to produce the "body" of evidence that they (supposedly) have against you. You can even be tortured. And they don't have to tell anyone that you've been arrested or where you are.
That's the truth.
