Rules for Radicals...and the Book of Job

As far as Obama is concerned, it has been important to try to discredit his critics on the flimsiest of reasons because if standing on his record, he fails utterly to convince. This has been the problem in politics for a long time, the ability to speak opinions or even speak the truth without censorship. The idea that some words are endowed with such power that if spoken, even in their truest sense, will cause some destruction of our society. The idea that society is so weak and brittle that it can be destroyed this way. The idea that people are so weak that they will be destroyed by an errant opinion of another flawed human. All the censorship to protect what they perceive as the powerless has rendered us all powerless. We cannot address issues truthfully if someone might be offended. This becomes so pervasive that we have the ridiculous case of people afraid to use the president's given middle name for fear he will find his own name offensive. Keep us on the defensive, that's the plan. Note today that Harry Reid said the GOP wants to prevent women from getting cancer screenings. That's the only reason they are fighting on this budget issue, they want to kill women. Doesn't that clear it all up? Every time an accusation is thrown, it becomes the duty somehow of the accused to defend himself. That is the complete opposite of how justice is supposed to work. The real point is what they are managing to do while our attentions are drawn to the trivial and the picayune complaints they throw at one another. They are dismantling our democracy and our nation. Our attentions are drawn to the smoke and the threats that play out in front of us while all of it is being controlled by the man behind the curtain. You will know when someone is about to unveil what is going on behind the curtain because there will be a concerted campaign to destroy that person. We see it all the time now, it will only get worse.

I love an article that uses the term radical left... I automaticaly know they are bent.. I cannot believe that the public buys into the consevative idea that has been perpetrated since the Reagan administration. This idea that fixing something is done by adding or subtracting money from the problem has driven both sides of the isle into the ground. Fiscal conservative republicans have not been anywhere in 30 years and the progressive ideas that can sometimes be great ideas are no where in the media or the discussion. The democrats have become so conservative that they make Reagan look like a screeming liberal. The news covers what they are told to cover from their mega uber corporations and are not covering anything that might move this country forward.

hell yes we are being played. I wrote a discussion today regarding rhetoric. If a conservative says it, they are inciting violence. If a liberal says it, it is stating facts.?! What floors me are the so-called thinking people that fall for it time and again. How about the people that are STILL blaming Bush, yet Obama is pulling the same crap he blamed Bush for. when does it end? with the end of this reign of terror.
