40. Because nothing says ''Democracy'' like ''Shut up.''

Ironic, really, as when it comes to learning anything, I don't seem to recall SidDithers of DU for anything worth knowing.

What We've Lost Since 9/11: Taking down the First Amendment in post-constitutional America

Speaking of Russia Today, the Obamabots over on "Democratic Underground" consistently refer to RT as "Putin News" and dismiss it as propaganda. However, thanks to RT I found out that Hillary used her position as SoS while on a trip to Russia to lobby for Boeing and that she managed to secure a $3.7 billion contract from the Russian government for them. Boeing's way of saying "Thanks!" was to donate $900,000 to Hillary's campaign war chest.
Since she is the big fave among so many Demos for President I can only presume that the loathsome trashing of our founding document under Bush the Idiot and Obomber will continue if she wins. Of course, whatever Rethug is nominated will do the same or worse.
I think that point that the author made about "wading" into this is wrong. I think we are already up to our armpits in this betrayal and the next decade will just about finish us. With a thoroughly compliant media, totally corrupt politicians, right-ward leaning courts, and a complacent electorate I see little hope in turning this around and we will follow the fate of dozens of imperialistic countries before us.
For some solace read "Shine, Perishing Republic" by the great poet Robinson Jeffers. We are indeed "settling into the mold of our vulgarity, heavily thickening into empire".
