WE'VE WAITED TOO LONG ALREADY-Freedom Through Association & Action-

WE'VE WAITED TOO LONG ALREADY
Freedom Through Association & Action

I have stated that I have the intention of using my little sphere of communication to try and work toward a means to and end. A plan, or at the very least, access to information that leads to implementing a change in the collapsing American social and governmental structure.

I can tell you at this point that there are certain bounds of action beyond which I will never and have never endorsed. Sorry to start on an negative but I feel this is of the utmost importance. Under no circumstance is violence supported in the proactive pursuit of any goals--ever--. This is a lesson learned by others the hard way and one that would waste precious time and ultimately destroy any chance of meaningful change. I propose "Freedom Through Association & Action".

The Bush administration ushered in the usurpation and willing surrender of vital American citizen's rights and privileges under the deceit and fear mongering of opportunistic and exploitative special interests and Barack Obama has shown by action and inaction that he intends to support those illegal and anti-American actions.

We are now in a position where any challenge to the manufactured propaganda of the corporate elite can result in dire consequences like rendition and murder by the state. If there is to be a meaningful movement for change in this nation we will need to be sophisticated and disciplined in order to minimize the impact of the anti-terrorism smoke screen used to exterminate dissent.

This nation is once again in the midst of a deep division in social identity and values. This division is real, it is based on real differences of opinion on many key issues. The fabric of our current situation is woven of many different strands of issues, values and opinions and unfortunately, in my opinion, the common ground is weak.

Moderate Republicans are almost non-existent. They have been replaced by pliable hoards of fearful, angry, hate driven mobs. Moderates have been placed in a situation which by definition, they are ill-equipped to deal. Thoughtful Liberals and Progressives are in a position where quiet rumination will lead to their extinction as a force for good in this nation.

Liberalism, Progressivism and moderation are not cash cow philosophies for the ruling corporate elite. Pliable, fearful, gullible and ignorant masses are the best customers. This whole ugly mess is about one thing--greed--. There are no values that exist among the ruling corporate elite other than this. The bottom line is the only line.

As evidenced by the rape of America by the Financial Industry, aided by traitors in the American government, as well as the propaganda push financed by the Health Care industry, "we the people" are noting more than livestock kept fat for the slaughter by weak willed, amoral profiteers. We need a new diet!

Yes, progressives have no representation (with spine) in Congress.

We must do the hard work: ORGANIZE. :hi:

on edit: with apologies to Dennis Kucinich, et. al. in The House.
