I'd have used different language. It's not that the left is using this directly to push any agenda, but are using it to blame conservatives for the event, in the hopes that this will help their guys gain political power so that *then* they can push forward with a completely unrelated agenda. Kinda like how they built up and then used anger at Bush to win elections in 2006 and 2008, and then embarked on an agenda that had nothing at all to do with the things they attacked the GOP for.
See the pattern? See why it's a problem?
Yes, of course I see the problem. But unlike most it would seem I see the whole problem, not just half of it.
Let me ask you some questions.
Do you really believe that the Government (D or R or any other)
really honestly just wants to look after the 'people'. To make sure that they are happy, healthy and
free?
Do you really believe that the Government (D or R or any other), isn't on the payroll of 'Big Business'?
Do you really believe that the Government (D or R or any other), wants people like me and you to spend the day 'thinking'?
Do you really believe that the Government (D or R or any other), wants people like me and you to spend the day questioning the actions of the Govt?
Do you really believe that 'mainstream' media (you know who I mean)
isn't working hand in hand with Big Business alongside their Govt frontmen?
Do you really believe that the War on Terror (lol) is being fought in the ME and South asia to protect
your freedoms and to enable democracy to bloom in those countries?
Do you really believe that 'terrorists' are more of a threat to you than your own Govt (D or R)?
The only thing 'they' all want you to do is live in a state of fear, fear of terrorists, fear of health epidemics, fear of unemployment and where your main function is to work, gratefully, in crap jobs, pay your taxes, and to be thankfull for the protection of the ever burgeoning security/surveillance apparatus that
you yourselves are paying for.
Think man!
You're not stupid.
Figure it out! It matters not one whit wether its Obama or Bush or Palin or anyone else who is 'leading' your country. What matters is where you, as an individual, are being led.
If everyone would turn the TV off, spend a bit of time thinking for themselves, stop using 'shopping' as an answer to their discontent, stop bowing down to men in fluorescent jackets who herd people around our countries like sheep and realise that we dont need to be scared of ill defined nebulous 'threats' all the time, then perhaps we could begin to become the unique, creative happy loving beings that we have the potential to be.
As long as we allow ourselves to swallow this destructive, negative, fear filled existence that the 'authorities' are hell bent on ramming down our throats, then we deserve all the sh
It that is flung our way...BY POLITICAL PARTIES OF ALL PERSUASIONS.
