The Secret Goldman Sachs Tapes

[calimary]

17. Welcome to DU, Crash2Parties!

Glad you're here! The post by GliderGuider is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT!!! The Powell Memo is a manifesto that, frankly, we should hijack and from which WE should take EVERY page. And turn it around so it promotes the agenda of the left. His eager "students" in the GOP read it and have learned tons from it, and benefited from it almost obscenely. It's a roadmap from the latter part of the last century leading DIRECTLY to the results we now have: overwhelmed by wrong-wing "think" tanks and foundations and institutions that groom a huge bench-strength of activists and other operators who run campaigns, run for office, get all spruced up and well-rehearsed for on-camera and hate-radio advocacy, astroturfers who metastasize the poison all over the op-ed pages and blogs, "colleges" and "universities" hellbent on teaching young up 'n' comers to grow up and take over - the CON way. It was mass, concentrated, highly-focused and directed BRAIN-WASHING. Brainwashing the public. Buying up and monopolizing all possible media and cornering the market so completely that the brainwashing is easier, more thorough, and more complete.

And today, we're MIRED in it. CHOKING on it. DROWNING in it now.

These bastards have had a 40-year head start and MAN have they paid attention - while OUR SIDE slept, gullible and naive, assuming the other side couldn't possibly be this devious and this destructive. They're good loyal patriotic A-MERRRRRRRR-icans! WE have to WORK toGETHER!!! Oh good heavens! They just WOULDN'T! COULDN'T! And America itself? The people will SEE! They'll just KNOW! They'll KNOW what's "right" and they can be counted on to ... blah-blah-blah. I've heard it from wide-eyed idiot after wide-eyed idiot after wide-eyed idiot on our side - til I'm ready to throw up. And they're WRONG! America has been dumbed-down. The people will NOT see. The people will NOT "just KNOW" they're being had. People will NOT know what's "right". And they can't even be counted on to vote to keep their voices in the mix. Anybody who gives the GOP any credit for humanity, compassion, and reason is kidding themselves.

Does anyone here REALLY think the other side couldn't possibly be this devious and this destructive. That they're good loyal patriotic A-MERRRRRRRR-icans! Or that WE can WORK toGETHER (with all those hearts and flowers and other naive, gullible crap)!!! Oh good heavens! They just WOULDN'T! COULDN'T! Yeah? Just watch 'em. And our side didn't even bother to do that.
