7. Yeah sure. That was just so "in your face, whacha gonna do about it"
Edited on Mon Apr-04-11 09:21 PM by IScreamSundays
Just like when the publicize the banker bonuses. We really have to realize that we are fighting something so huge, so pervasive, and so rotten to the core.

And I will say it again: Divide and Conquer is their strategy. As it has been since the beginning of time. They have spent a generation establishing their war chest...concerned citizens of this and concerned citizens of that. They infiltrate inboxes daily. They are organized, they are monied, they are ruthless. The are the ones that created the tea party, they own the media, they own congress, they even have infiltrated local government, they WILL NOT STOP.

Our only hope, And I MEAN THIS FROM MY SOUL: Is to find some common ground with those that we so vehemently disagree with. It is the only way.

Yeah, I hate those fuggin baggers more than anything. I was at the bank yesterday and saw an SUV with a bumper sticker that said: "Tea Party of ______. My first instinct was to key her car, or engage in a hostile conversation with her. But I didn't. Afterwards, I really had to take a look at why I hated this woman. She probably has kids that go to the same school, she probably bakes cookies for the class, she probably pays her taxes, she probably loves her family more than anything, asides from the politics, she is probably just like me. But we have had a wedge driven between us by people that have an agenda that necessitates pitting neighbor against neighbor. You see I truly believe that we are ALL liberals, it's just that they are conditioning us to hate one another.
There needs to be a dialog, I just don't know what that is gonna take. Yo uhave the MSM to deliver your daily hate and disinformation, and if ya couldn't catch the news they will check you in your inbox. People are tired, they are working their asses off. They are trying to keep their noses above the water. They are being exploited by those that could give a fuck.

I have personal experience with this. My sister lives far away, has for 15 years. She watches Fox News and listens to hate radio. And I gotta tell you this is the most liberal woman you could ever know, if you really knew her. But she literally got brainwashed. She has convinced herself that she is "NOT A PROGRESSIVE" and thinks Glenn Beck has it going on. She is so far away that I can't have much influence on her, and she is a very strong willed person. But if she was here, I could eventually show her the truth.

We have so many weapons that are used against us. Cable news, news papers, syndicated radio...I mean come on...these people are organized, calculating, and without conscious. They have been laying the foundation for years.

We MUST find a way to come together. There has to be a way to educate our country about the propaganda. WTF is it going to take.
