15. The pukes are all about destroying things. As the old saying goes
Edited on Mon Apr-11-11 12:04 PM by goodnews
any jackass can kick down a barn (start and war, sow discord etc.), but it takes a carpenter to build one. The most frustrating thing in fighting them is keeping on message as the OP is trying to do here. The people must see who they are and what they represent. THAT IMO is the biggest problem, because of the corporate controlled media. In "the hinder-lands" where people live closer to the earth and interact in a substantive way on a daily basis the MSM is less effective as we've seen in Egypt and elsewhere. Alternative media such as Wikileaks, which actually triggered the Tunisian revolt, have more impact in areas where the TV does not hypnotize the population. FOX news is actually a smart thing for the fascists to keep going, it makes other news media look moderate in comparison, when in reality they are worse than FOX news because they keep the myth about free press alive while promoting a pro-corporate agenda. Americans are so inundated with corporatism they don't even know any different. As JFK once said the biggest threat to democracy is not the lie but the myth that over time becomes conventional wisdom.

What is happening in Wisconsin is really giving the bastards something to think about, but it really was a big overreach by the fascists.

ON EDIT: What the pukes have is economic power, from which all else flows. Socialism--the people's control over the means of production--is what is needed and that is one reason why it has been given such a bad rap by the capitalist, they know it is the one thing that spells their doom.
