The Stay-Behind Nutwork
Want to know why we're in the pickle we're in?

No, it's not just the network of right-wing nutjob bureaucrats left in cushy jobs after the ultra-right leaves office.



It's 30 years of people constantly hearing: "America is a conservative country."
It's been blared 24/7 on the tee vee, so we hear it at school, on the street and in our homes.
People have been raised on that meme.

And now lots of people actually believe this tax-cut for the rich trickle down nonsense.

Wake up, America!

Tax cuts for the rich are nothing more than Reverse Robin Hood,
serving the economic and political goals of the warmonger class.

2. Hear something often enough and pretty soon it seems like one's always thought that way.
Another for instance, Obama: "No Welfare for Wall Street."

Why a Democratic President would go along with policies that exclusively benefit the rich at the expense of the rest of the nation shows how far we -- as in "We the People" -- have fallen.

3. To me it is like hearing a new song you don't like in the car on the
way to work...a few months later you are humming the tune like you've always loved it. Why? Because the dam song is played 24/7 when it is new so you have NO CHOICE but to 'listen' to it or turn the radio off when it comes on.

4. You and I are immune, but what about the simpleminded dittohead?
The poor fools have no idea they're being manipulated into echoing -- and, thus, supporting -- the likes of the professional liar Rush Limbaugh, a hatemonger of the extreme right and de facto public head of the Republican Party.

The hydrangea was hand-picked for the job:

5. I don't know, I work with them every day and I'm not sure we can
or how we can win this war against the 24/7 M$M brainwashing machine and the 'status quo' groups that fears a swing to the left. How do you force progressive ideas onto people that would rather die off out of ignorance or sheer stubbornness? Maybe in another 100 years Octafish. :(
