following the piper

Everyone is following the piper.
Those who identify as rightists follow Beck and Limbaugh et, those on the left, Maddow and Olberman et all.

Memories of past discussions seem to be surfacing.

Here's how I see it.

Everyone knows right from wrong.
When you drop bombs on innocent women and children, you may tell yourself G_d told you to, but dammit, the guys doing this know it's wrong.


If you see children living in cardboard boxes, you know that is wrong, in such a wealthy country.
You may tell yourself anything you want to assuage your guilt, but everyone knows it's wrong.
And its not just the parents fault, its society's as well.

This Obama hatred is wrong.
He is a spokesman for the moneyed elite.
Listen to him.
But he is not the enemy, and he is not making significant policy.
And he won't, I guarantee it.

I know you haven't thought about this, but here's the real deal, and you can take this to the bank.

Corporations control America.
Follow the money, for crying out loud.
Tax records are public records.
look where the bulk of the money is.
Most is in the hands of the richest 5% of Americans, this is well known.

You do realize the amount of money it took to successfully run Obama, yes?

He had corporate sponsorship in a really big way.
So did McCain.

They could not lose, the elite, because they hedged their bets, like they always do.

The people who had to lose, who couldn't win, was us, because we only had two hand picked candidates to choose from.
Big money guy one, and big money guy two.

Communism is not a threat, it's a bogeyman.
It gives you an enemy to fight that takes your mind off of the real bad guys.
And since there aren't any more communists, the thought is, how much harm can "they", the masses cause, by fighting a non-existent threat.

If you could take a step forward, out of your ideology for a moment, you might ponder,
Maybe Obama might actually have been a decent leader if he hadn't been forced to do exactly as he is told by the actual leaders of the country.

I have not heard a progressive statement from Obama in months.

I see very little difference between Bush, Clinton or Obama.

They are all spokesmen for the leaders of America.
And I'm pretty sure they all hate communists as least as much as you do, they have a lot more to lose from the commies than most.
