1. Has the DLC or any DLCer spoken out against
The army's FPS -- America's Army?

Or whatever it's called.

2. well, being anti-violence appeals to soccer moms
So when the corporate media hypes violent gory video games, of course Moms are going to worry about their kids being indocrtinated in the corporate violent entertainment bread-and-circuses advertizing culture. Your mom votes doesn't she? Let's get desensitized.

Then, the US military will put out official war video games to indoctrinate children into violence and war at an early age. Oops, they already did that. Welcome to "America's Army" - how do you like those video war games now? The kids are familiar with urban combat in Iraq, they've been playing the video game for years.

The DLC wants to make our party republican lite so this is one of their objectives. Will it have appeal NO!! they honostly don't give a shit about that stuff. The swing voters care about jobs, economy and good schools.
