tom_paine's The Age of UnReason
The Bushies have survived on election fraud and disinformation, combined with domination of media for so long that they don't remember how to argue in the arena of ideas.
Thus the complete Palinization/Hannitization of this bunch of mad authoritarians and their followers as they circle for Gotterdammerung.
They fear equal footing more than anything.
They have no ideas but bullying and rhetorical trickery nowadays. With VERY few exceptions.
They would get MUSHED if both sides had equal time....
Democrats in both House and Senate, I believe.
A Nancy Pelosi Democrat can be found anywhere, House, Senate, bureaucracy... though I hope VERY few are to be found in the coming Obama administration.
A Nancy Pelosi Democrat is one which, I believe, has a basic contempt for those they rule, favoring the money donors and not the people in a BIG way. A Nancy Pelosi Democrat has few principles, I believe, besides making sure they keep farting through silk and their kids and grandkids are farting t...
to be about..THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?!?
Let us speak seriously here, fellow DUers. President Obama has not even taken office. The person who we have to look to in Harry Reid, one of our troubling Nancy Pelosi Democrats.
We also have to look a little to Obama. By all accounts, his Unity strategy includes keeping Traitor Joementum. I must confess to being exasperated a bit with him too, if this is true.
Because WE DUers KNOW THE BUSHIES TAKE THAT AS A SIGN OF LIBERAL WEAKNESS AND THEY LAUGH THE...
1) In accordance with the Bushie Mission of protecting the Wealthy 0.01% and their Corporations from the American People, this "investigation" has been given to the same Bushies who tanked the anthrax investigation, or their kissin' spiritual cousins over at Bushie EPA.
2) In accordance with the Bushie Mission of protecting the Wealthy 0.01% and their Corporations from the American People, even now the relevant documents are being shredded or, where possible, altered.
3) In accordance with ...
that likely still continues today, at least they do in popular culture like "The Sopranos", and perception can be as powerful as reality.
I will admit I, too, still think there is some residual Mafia influence on the Unions, and I suspect it increases when Bushification of the FBi takes place and union cries for help are met with deaf Bushie ears.
But I think it is this lingering association, more than anything else, in the Public's Mind that means that anti-union propaganda, true or false, wi...

It's no secret that I personally supported John McCain for president. I agreed with him on core issues and he and I are in the same party, but I also truly believe he's an extraordinary and honorable American hero. I campaigned hard for him — to the point of losing my voice in fact. But Americans elected Barack Obama and it's time to put the election behind us and the country in front of us.
Barack Obama wasn't my choice, but come January 20, he will be my president. I will...
Amazing.
Almost as amazing as how swiftly they will soon join into the Bushie Party Loyal-Sub-Media-and-Lie-Laundry's False Outrage and Phony Obama Scandal Creation Machine.
Now THAT, even though I have seen it before and it is as laughably predictable as the Nazi Papers being against the Jews, will be truly amazing.
They will fall into line (with the exception of MSNBC, but only from the hours of 4pm-8pm) with astonishing rapidity just like they lined up to serve the Bushies in the Palin Reh...
Why am I posting this, you ask?
Well, a few days ago in the glory of the DU Victory Celebration, another DUer, I cannot remember who, mentioned that the FReikorps' reaction to the McBush Defeat was essentially an identical mirror image of DU's reaction to the 2000 Stolen Election.
I took umbrage, but who could get angry on such a day, in such a week, so my response was gentle reproach - WWOD? LOL! - in the tone and I respectfully said that I STRONGLY DISAGREED with that assessment.
I was aske...
Hey DU, I just had a thought, since this is something of a "initial test marketing of an idea to the base", if you think it's a REALLY GOOD idea, give it a rec, too.
(yeesh, after eight years of exposure to Bushiganda I now have, like, the equivalent of a Bachelors Degree in advertising, PR, marketing, and propaganda, as does every other DUer, probably)
NOTE: If you think my request for recs is egocentric or horrible for other reasons, please feel free not to vote, but kindly takle your insu...
I was wrong. Let me say it again. Let me say it loudly and joyfully..for I have never been more happy to be so.
Like most DUers and probably billions around the world, I have cried over this. Tears of joy, of course. I have cried in the past 20 years, but not a whole lot...when one of my dearest friends was taken by a car accident, when another drowned in a duck hunting accident, both too tragically young by far, and other intense moments like Tuesday Night that has still got me and the enti...
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a...
Do we DUers walk the walk that we talk?
which is to say nothing less than the modern "kinder and gentler" spiritual reincarnation of the Nazis.
As such the audaciousness and the clear injustice of the Bushie ACORN Propaganda Op is stunning to him.
It is not stunning to me, nor even in the least surprising. It is fully in keeping in they way with how the Nazis worked (although the Bushies are relatively nonviolent compared to their spritual forebears, the Nazis... for now) and in the way in which ALL totalitarians work: Nazi, Bushie...
Can't you just see him, striding across the courtyard in his shiny new black boots, glaring menacingly at the hungry, orange-jumpsuited Arabs and Lib'rul Terrorist Hippies? His eyes squinting, gazing, gazing for ONE just ONE sign of resistance.
A furtive glance of anger, a laborer being lazy on the job, or perhaps someone passing around a greasy mimeographed copy of a terrorist publication, the Homepage of DU (who's new home, ironically enough, is in Germany) from three months ago...
Now he p...
You know what? That, horrible as it sounds, maybe it's not such a bad thing to just get it the fuck over with BEFORE the Bushies fully Bushify/Nazify and corrupt our law enforcement at every level and in every corner, if they haven't already.
Not that I would want such a thing if it was at all possible NOT to have it. But the Bushie Followers are now very clearly acting like Bushie/Nazis and their leadership is goading them like Nazi leadership goaded THEIR PEOPLE. Only difference is the Bus...

If you like this photo-poll and think it's worthy, please give it a kick to keep it alive. This isn't exactly a "conversation-starter" thread, otherwise I would try to avoid making such a crass request.
Thanks.
Revelations. Epiphanies. Call them what you will. I just had one.
I had been pondering the significance of the Bushie ACORN Propaganda Op for quite some time now. My "Spidey Sense" was tingling and I have learned to trust it. Since Bushler took over, it has been right at least 80% of the time, often years in advance.
But it isn't really something so esoteric and supernatural as Spidey Sense. More correctly it is "Critical Analysis of Similar Historical Trends used to Calculate Probabilit...

It almost always has for tyrants and it almost always will. Whenever people catch on to the old methods, new methods are swiftly put in place.
If ol' B'rer Rabbit can't get what he wants one way, then ol' B'rer Rabbit'll just have to find another way to get what he wants.

both before and after the OJ Trial.
The Psyops boys did learn some very key group psychology points as proven with "in the field" data rather than theoretical supposition.
Some of the very same methodologies that were used to force-feed the vast majority of Americans who did not want to see 24/7 OJ on their Infoganda Channels, have been exploited as mental weaknesses by the Bushies using the principles learned during the OJ Trial to control people and force them to accept that which they didn'...
Yes, the Elites can't stop themselves. Liquidating the middle-class and crushing the poor and having their Bushies lock everything down so the suckers have no chance even AFTER we realize the swindle, must be like pure heroin shot into the veins of an addict.
I mean, even if I sort of contemplate the situation of the Amerikan Aristocracy, even as the whole thing is going down in flames, slow-motion (perhaps as slow-motion as 30 years -- if the Bushies can somehow finish transitioning us to tyr...
This is to all lurkers and DUers reading this who are not yet working for the Obama Campaign:
1) Go to: mybarackobama.com
2) Move your mouse-cursor over to the "states" heading and drop down the list of states.
3) Click on your state.
4) Look at the list and/or state map (some have them, some don't, but all have lists of campaign
offices), then CALL the nearest Obama Campaign Office to you.
5) Ask them what needs to be done and when. Then HELP THEM DO IT.
It might be phone-banking or can...

It is also a question I believe I have asked DU every even-year-election-time since it has exsted.
What is YOUR personal level of Democratic Campaign participation? At this moment or, as in my case, what is already planeed but it must be CERTAIN you are going to follow-through (as in: I am scheduled to start tomorrow) in order for it to be an "honest" vote.
Does DU walk the walk, or just talk the talk?
Oh, and I know how the principle of self-sele...
I swore and I swore I wouldn't do it. As I have mentioned numerous times before, I have worked and donated my ass off for every even-numbered "election" since 2000. That's three ('02, '04, and '06)
I was a part, as so many DUers were, of our 2006-victory-that-wasn't-really-a-victory. The African-American young lady I worked with (I drove, did the paperwork, and she canvassed) got called the N-Word within the first hour of our Election Day Canvass (of DEMOCRATIC HOUSEHOLDS as part of GOTV on ...
Let me first say, I think know NO one can know the future in detail before it happens. I am open to the possibility of psychic phenomena, etc., but just believe it hasn't been scientifically and reproducibly shown to exist.
But that is not the point of this OP...except to point out that analyzing trends and making overall predictions based on them is a far cry from the psychic's assertion that they see everything in great detail.
Having said that I believe that, analyzing past trends and obse...
And, yes, just like the Bushie August pre-"election" proxy war of 2008 was more shocking and powerful (because of the added element of the Cold War and the old jitters easily reawakened) that the August 2006 Israeli version, so likely shall the 2008 version of The 2004 October Surprise be more shocking and powerful than the 2004 version.
Come Nov. 7th, we may view the Bush-Bin Laden Production 2004 October Surprise Produced by Bushie Films, al-Qaeda Division, as tepid and mild compared to what ...
Naturally, there is nothing even remotely comparable on the Democratic side, though it is finally, belatedly building (often without help from the Democratic Party itself). Except to get the words out to DEBUNK Lying Bushie Blast E-Mails instead of using it like the Bushies do, in the service of lies.
Having said that, I have made a few observations when I have seen these Bushie blast e-things...and they are EVERYWHERE. A testament to the efficiency of Totalitarian Lunatics and the Evil Ones ...
However, the problem here with Iraq that makes it impossible to even give that much consideration is the fact that the reason we are there is as false and unnecessary as those Hitler gave for invading Poland.
If you think it's hyperbole in the least, stop take a deep breath and think about it. As yourself:
Does the fact that neither Hitler's claimed Polish assault on the German radio station as well as Saddam's WMDs, never existed, speak of some sort of moral-kinship, or is it out of line to ...
Loyal Bushie followers have been programmed much in the same way cult members, Commies, Nazis, and any other victims of authoritarian propaganda are.
Except the limitless funds the Bushies have, the level of media saturation that permeates this society, literally allowing a tighter, more seamless False Reality Bubble than either the Nazis on the Right or the Soviets on the Left had to offer their subject populaces.
But the American Subject Populace is subject to the same thing the Nazis and So...
Stolen Election, in order to give the Amerikan Subject Opulace the "junkie's rush" that will come with gas being $2.90 or less on Stolen Election Day, which statistically means more nonspecific good feelings flipping more votes to the Status Quo aka Bushie Inverted Totalitarianism.
It is a statistical certainty.
That is what I have been predicting for months, and as you can see, it was already starting in exactly the timeframe I'd predicted.
Now Ike.
But what I think is coming is a very "swi...
NOTE: To anyone who feels that their morale may be damaged by an unvarnished assessment of reality these last eight to twenty-five years may not wish to read any further. Everyone from Polyannas to Coincidence Theorists, please find another thread to soil.
Anyone who would like to converse civilly is most welcome.
NOTE: Neither should this thread be construed as an advocation of giving up or not voting. I will be out in November pulling the lever for Obama and I would hope every other DUer...
