73. Kick/for call tomorrow ---- Our nation - president and Congress did once earn our trust . . .
Edited on Thu Jan-07-10 05:40 PM by defendandprotect
but it has long been over -- it's been over for decades -- it's been over

since they killed JFK --

not only was that a coup on the president, it was a coup on our "people's" government --

and it certainly included the Democratic Party. They weren't about to let the party

and those who were representing the public in Congress go on doing so. Reminding Americans

of democratic ideals and those who would have investigated right wing political violence

and stop it!

Sadly, it was all over that day --

We trusted and hoped then that our leaders would investigate and tell us the truth.

They didn't --

And here we are with fascism having crossed America's threshold.

But, at least we are all now waking up. That's a beginning.

Obviously, thee are many descent people still in Congress, but I think we also have to

recognize that the first area to be controlled is leadership. We have the leadership which

those who are destroying America have given us.


PS: Just want to add another comment which I have been trying to wake up DU'ers about . . .

Keep in mind that both the large computers used by MSM and the individual computers began to

come in during the mid-and-late-1960's. That's just about the time that America was passing

The Voting Rights Act.

The LARGE computers used by MSM gave them new powers --

Previously they could only REPORT actual vote totals for candidates.

Yes -- occasionally they would have someone on opining about the outlook for a candidate or

a little discussion about the leanings of the country or state ... but that was it.

The LARGE computers gave MSM the power to PREDICT outcomes for candidates and states.

The LARGE computers gave MSM the power to CALL elections for candidates -- and in

presidential elections to PREDICT electoral college votes -- and to CALL states for

candidates.

To CALL presidential/veep winners.

We saw that power simply reversed in 2000 -- when Fox/Jon Ellis RECALLED Florida from Gore

and later CALLED Florida for Bush.

We have still not come to terms with either of these situations -- LARGE or individual

voting computers. Yet, I would question every election back to Humphrey/Nixon!

It's an issue the Democratic Party should be dealing with -- and again . . . they are not.
