Reply #136: Key concept and root of our problem: "unable to keep the country safe" [View All]

[JohnOneillsMemory]

Of course the smear that 'Dems are weak on defense and can't even defend themselves' has been how liberals have been bullied, discredited and forced into 'me-too-ism' running after the professional killers and criminals who took over this country 60 years ago.

Yes, General Clark has the body count to be a player in this disinformed and indoctrinated death culture that reveres 'righteous violence' and has a large Master Race Chosen Few component in its population.

So he's running on the idea that he'd make a better 'War President.'
This is not anything like moving towards a 'peace president.'

By going for a win on the 'Securing America' theme and amplifying the idea that the Pentagon and Homeland Security are to "keep the country safe" General Clark is PERPETUATING the BIG LIE that's at the root of this country's problems at exactly the moment when renewed Vietnam Syndrome and realization that we've been bankrupted, downsized, and poisoned by our government should be the breaking point that was reached in the 1960s.

Instead, General Clark offers a reinvigoration of the Glorious Lie that covers for 'the next last resort.'

He lies to hide that the job of the Pentagon/CIA has been to PREVENT democracy for 100 years and the job of Homeland Security is to PROTECT the illegal and immoral US government from "we, the people."

And sure enough, he calls for full funding of the Pentagon's Full Spectrum Dominance massive weapons procurement program while we our domestic lives disintegrate with half the budget already going to the Pentagon to maintain bases around the world.

Doesn't anyone else see this as more of the same problem, militarism?
