The people of Germany, Japan, Italy, and other nations followed blindly behind their leaders into war without real knowledge of the circumstances. After readin... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/dfgrbac/13 Sun, 06 Mar 2011 15:09:16 Stereotyping is a key tool of propaganda. Those who control media want us all to believe that groups are completely homogeneous in their ideas and beliefs. This helps them claim black and white differences between groups. It is my experience that in any group you will find much variety in the int... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/dfgrbac/12 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 13:21:11 The multi-cultural multi-ethnic structure of American society provides much variety in concepts and ideas. Rather than causing trouble between minorities (which admittedly does sometimes happen), it provides a richness to our society. It also helps us to understand the rest of the world. When our... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/dfgrbac/11 Fri, 25 Feb 2011 16:22:33 It seems Americans don't believe in the value of democracy anymore. I don't know what schools teach about democracy today, but when I went to school we were taught that it is the core basis of our political system. We were taught that when we grew up, we had a rather large responsibility as citize... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/dfgrbac/10 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 14:04:18 Unless you are rich, you probably understand that our society is sick at its roots from personal experience. This malady just about covers everything about us and how we function as a culture from our individual and social health to our government and our rule of law. Although we spend more on hea... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/dfgrbac/9 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 12:20:31 Throughout history massive changes in government (short of invading armies) have always been by the hands of the people. Hence the argument could be made that a nations people can determine the format of their own government at will if they act in unison. A nation's people are its most powerful po... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/dfgrbac/8 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 13:54:10 This may be it my friends. We must rise in unified opposition to the corporate takeover, or just accept fascism.

Thom Hartmann has been running an exceptional personal campaign to educate Americans about what is happening through his many books and talk shows. It seems to me that I have learned... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/dfgrbac/7 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 12:46:03 Our nation, our world is in deep trouble. Let me list a few symptoms.

Some time ago (a year or two I believe) I caught an interview with Paul Craig Roberts on [link:www.thomhartman.com/|The Thom Hartmann Program]. Mr. Roberts, a former insider of the Reagan Administration, told a tail – a very ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/dfgrbac/6 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:40:08 With the National Initiative for Democracy law as designed:

1) Special interest groups would lose their political power.
2) Voter apathy everywhere would be lessened due to self interest.
3) Right, left, conservative, liberal, and so on would have little meaning. Issues would have meaning.

Even those who are willing to dig for answers – like me – are getting confused by all the conflicting information. I figured out long ago that their agenda was to keep the people so confused that we could never detect the ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/dfgrbac/1 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 11:53:05 The Democrats holding power today are forgetting why and how they were thrown out of power before. It was because of the corporate media that drumbeated misinformation into American voters minds. When people are uninformed and confused, we don't get democracy. We desperately need some basic secur... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/dfgrbac/4 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:44:20 Do you think that our so-called "Two Party System" of politics is something our founders had in mind? Of course it isn't. This system is not about making sure both liberals and conservatives have their voice in government, thus giving everyone a voice. It's about convincing us that we, the people, h... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/dfgrbac/3 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 14:14:59 I hear a lot of people talking about Armageddon these days. They don't understand all the terrible things going on in the world and, because of this, wonder if the predictions are really true.

Well, I don't know about you, but I have never seen a "prediction" come true - even in past history and... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/dfgrbac/2 Fri, 23 Nov 2007 15:58:22
