they will use whatever group who pledges extreme loyalty to their own cause but in reality ends up being useful pawns to the wealthy barons who have so much but want it all. They love the vote they can get from the Bible bunch. They know if they swing a few words around like abortion,birth control etc the BB's will vote in their favor. What they don't know is the one they vote for is just another one of the wealthy,by the wealthy and for the wealthy. They get groups stirred up about guns or that ever popular word FREEDOM and those groups will protest with mouth and signs(often misspelled). Again the real agenda is closer to a financial gain which IS their freedom.
It's scary that the more they talk about freedom the more kinds of freedom we lose.
Now is not the time to jump ship. But it is time to batten down the hatches and be very aware of who is running the ship and what direction that ship is going to. We have encountered many storms through the years. AT times it seems that we were on the verge of sinking or at least getting caught on some very sharp rocks. No time does a ship ever always have smooth sailing. But we must get that compass out and get our crew convinced what direction to take. We can make phone calls,go to meetings,vote the way we see fit--but we can't just throw out hands up and start all over. Time is too precious and so are those we are trying to help--the seniors,disabled,homeless,out of work--the average guy--just the opposite of whom the wealthy block wants to eliminate one way or another.
