Election rigging, Diebold
(R), voter registration restrictions, limiting hours and access to polls,
cutting early voting, voter roll purging, gerrymandering to the point the
Republicans control the House of Representatives despite the fact a majority of
Americans voted for representation by the other party, limiting reproductive choice and forced unnecessary
medical procedures for women, corporate "personhood", Big Money is
"free speech", torture, warrantless surveillance, indefinite
detention without charges or counsel, etc. are all Republican initiated
assaults on civil liberties and democracy.
Their Bill of Rights ends at
the Second Amendment. (Do they know here was civilian firearm ownership in the
Third Reich?)
The truth is clear to anyone
with even a partially open mind. The pseudo-fascists of the radical Right are
the domestic enemies of equality and democracy. They want to suppress the
interests and will of the majority of Americans.
And corporate owned
Democrats are the appeasers that cripple any opposition to the radical Right’s
war on democracy.

The radical Right's
"liberal media" propaganda campaign, aka the Big Lie, has worked so
well.
No wonder so many millions
of Americans are so ignorant and fearful to think Obama is a foreign born
Muslim socialist and even the Antichrist. There’s no liberal media campaign
against that ignorance.
The vast portion of national
media is corporate owned and corporate biased. How can corporate media be as
liberal as the Right says it is? It is not.
When has anyone seen the NY
Times or Washington Post advocate for cannabis de-criminalization?
When has anyone seen the NY
Times or Washington Post advocate investigation of Bush/Cheney torture, their
false statements leading to war, and demand the repeal of the Patriot Act,
etc.?
Remember the NY Times'
Judith Miller's parroting of the Bush/Cheney Iraq lies? Remember the Times
withheld warrantless surveillance stories, demanded by the Bush White House,
until after the ’04 election? Some liberal media, eh?
When has anyone seen the NY
Times or Washington Post advocate for the repeal of corporate personhood, for
restoring Glass/Steagall, for public funded elections, for Medicare for all,
for...you get the picture.

the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media.” - Noam Chomsky

Let’s look at the most rabid
anti-union, anti-worker, and anti-bargaining rights forces, and the lines are
clear. Dictators, Fascists, Communists...and Republicans all need to suppress
the people in order to hold power. This is nothing less than the struggle
between democracy and totalitarianism.

When nearly half of all
Republican voters believe Obama is a foreign born Marxist Muslim, the Big Lie
is in effect.
When nearly half of all
Republican voters believe ACORN stole the 2012 re-election for Obama, after ACORN
no longer existed, the Big Lie is in effect.
When Beck accuses Obama of
being a racist who hates white people and still keeps his multimillion dollar
job as propagandist and fear-monger, the Big Lie is in effect.
When Limbaugh claims that
the Left, not the Right is racist, the Big Lie is in effect.
When a hundred thousand
pro-union demonstrators peacefully protest a governor’s fascistic stripping of
their rights, and are constantly called “union thugs” anyway, the Big Lie is in
effect.
When moderate right
democrats are called socialists for advancing proposals initially espoused by
republicans, the Big Lie is in effect.
When liberals are portrayed
as communists, and accused of destroying America , this is fascist
scapegoating, exactly in the pattern of twentieth century European fascist
propaganda.
Now it has transformed into
Republican American “conservatism”.
When Republican
"conservatism" is believed to be American conservatism, the Big Lie
is in effect.

What Are “Conservatives”
Trying to Conserve?
Great question. Whether they
know it or not, what they are trying to conserve is complete political,
economic and social dominance by the economic elites by what amounts to a
"Divine Right of Wealth".

The human race is a herd species.
They are generally oblivious to anything but their grazing, until they become
frightfully responsive to any loud alarm of threats, real or unreal. Big Money
has the loudest voice over their pasture, and liberals and democracy itself are
the threats bleated in their false alarms to the herd.

Suggestions for new national
motto and pledge:
"In Greed We Trust"
"I pledge allegiance to
the wealthy elite, and to the wealth they must amass, ever more at my expense,
and to the nation's decline, in war after endless war.”
