Why Liberals are More Dangerous than Terrorists

By John R Moffett

Think about it. Terrorists are an absolute necessity for furthering the Bush regime’s plans. Without terrorists, they could not justify Afghanistan, Iraq, torture, illegal spying on US citizens, stripping away habeus corpus rights, Guantanamo, outing Valerie Plame, or any of the other debacles they have foisted upon America and the world.

There is only one thing standing it their way, preventing them from doing whatever they think will bring them more power and wealth.

Liberals.

In the absence of a functioning media to inform the public, liberals and progressives are the only thing standing in the way of a complete power grab by the neo-cons. This makes them far more dangerous than terrorists.

Indeed, the terrorists are a necessary part of their plans, so terrorists must not be brought to justice (think Osama Bin Forgotten).

Further, liberals threaten to bring back fiscal responsibility, including higher taxes on the wealthy, which is akin to a “war on wealth”, according to Kudlow the Crackpot on CNBC.

Liberals threaten their plans to dismantle government, deregulate business, wage endless and highly profitable wars, and control the strings of power in perpetuity. Terrorists aren’t a threat, they are a critical tool… a prop… a crutch.

Liberals, on the other hand, are the most dangerous thing in the world.

5. Umm.. there are no public or powerful liberals these days.
Yes, I'm a loud and proud liberal leftie .. and
there is virtually no one really speaking or
acting for me or furthering my interests.

6. And That's Why We Are Gathered Here
a whole bunch of little people, creating a large and powerful and public liberal presence that grows and continues, even if we lose a member or several to death or illness....what the Democratic Party is supposed to be!

8. I am going back to get my MBA
For just that reason. I'm sick of waiting for the powers that be to smack me around from one month to the next. I am not materialistic, greedy, or ambitious for my own sake. Just sick of being powerless to effect change.

I want to run a company and spit in the eyes of my colleagues "OMG he's refused to make 380 times what his employees make? And he's called the press about it?". I want to show the people that a company can have a healthy work-life balance and a healthy relationship with the environment and still turn a healthy profit.

Asking them to change the system doesn't seem to be working. I'm going to devote the next 10 years of my life to making the system my bitch. If it doesn't work at least i've tried.

7. If "Terrorists" did NOT exist....
...it would be necessary to invent them.

"We've ALWAYS been at war with EastAsia."


The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.
