(488 posts)in 1992, i didnt think we needed an amendment against flag burning, like the republicans were pushing, and yes, i did agree that free speech was more important
but that wasnt what was really going on, that's not what it was really about, the real issue was that flag buring was a smokescreen for ushering in globalism and 'free' trade' on the heals of the ending of the cold war. a massive, massive change in society planned by insiders only
democrats and the media were too willing to talk endlessly about a stupid diversionary issue, while both parties were planning to wipe out every manufacturing worker with NAFTA and MFN-China
if you really want to get what i'm talking about, watch this, it's mindblowing, and it's from totally 'progressive' sources (public citizen and public television)
it's about what i feel is being 'diverted' from - it lays out what a total smokescreen almost EVERYTHING is, not just 'race'
