54. spying apologists should pay attention to this...

In The World As It Is, Chris Hedges writes, “Our anemic democracy will be replaced with a robust national police state. The elite will withdraw into heavily guarded gated communities where they will have access to security, goods, and services that cannot be afforded by the rest of us. Tens of millions of people, brutally controlled, will live in perpetual poverty.”

The rich have spent 40 years redistributing wealth from from the middle class into their own pockets.

Our citizen surveillance programs are designed to make sure it stays that way.

We are at once becoming India and China, a corrupt Government stealing away opportunity and justice, lowering our wages, exploiting our weakness.

Meanwhile, even Democratic Leadership believes the answer is more corporate control over public policy.

So the USA slits its own throat, blindly accepting Patriot Act, Spying, Bribery, Corporate capture of government, a White House filled with an Army of investment bankers and corporate shills writing public policy for both political parties - lining pockets with our tax dollars.

They talk about increasing the retirement age, cutting social security, preserving tax breaks for the rich, while wages stagnate.

Fuck Bill Gates and all the asshole corporate shills in the White House and lobbying Congress!

And pouring gas on the fire, here comes the 3rd way. Jesus - anyone stupid enough to buy into that corporate clusterfuck deserves what they get.

The corporate baggers are no better than global warming deniers - unwilling to accept their own responsibility for the problems they are creating.

Either we start fighting back, or just get it over with and sell the naming rights to the Democratic Party to GE or Monsanto. Stop calling this right wing bullshit the "center".
