Big Picture: Battle of the Minds Report: Pubs now losing Power due to

[opihimoimoi]

persistant signs of Malfeasance in the Fed Gov't. Once given a healthy report, the Republicans and the Administration, has taken a number of revelations re cronyism, incompetance, deafness and myopia, etc. Add A number of high ranking Pubs at risk for criminal activity ... some have already been indicted. Tom DeLay has had to resign for one. Rove/Cheney/etc on the radar screen.

And so, if we are to look for some rare optimism of the REASON CATEGORY...we look to the pendelum swinging back toward Reason/Sanity from the Facist/Imperialistic/ side of things....

A Shift is occuring before our eyes....

The Pub Brainwashing Machine is taking a dive.....Their Power will be less should Sanity/Reason return to the National Scene...

Come, we go plan the Party, the Bon Fire, the Luau, the FireWorks. This is Close People, Very Close...We need 06 and 08 for the Return to Sanity Movie......

They have lost the Battle of the Minds...almost but no Cigars yet.

Their Pub Philosophy rests on soft MUD...hardly something to build on.

1. Its time for reason to take control again.

And once in power, reason must make it its first priority to ensure that insanity is never the rule again. This transcends smaller political differences.

2. Nothing important has changed

Seriously, I think we're in for a disappointing November. The republicans still have the federal government wrapped up, they still control the election machinery in several key states, they still have vast corporate backing, and lapdog "news"media outlets still catapult their propaganda 24/7. The mega-churches push their congregations to the voting booth by the millions to disenfranchise homosexuals and ban abortions -- oh and by the way, vote for the politicians who support their side of the wedge issues. Worse yet, bush just got himself a $480-million slush fund from a trade dispute settlement with Canada, and you can bet a big chunk of that's going straight into the RNCC coffers. A few individual lawmakers may fall by the wayside, but their juggernaut is far from collapse.

All we have are the opinions of people tired of war and exploitation. Public opinion is fickle and subject to manipulation -- Propaganda Works. Our opinions today are one thing, our opinions in November quite another. Meanwhile, Democrats squabble incoherently and fail utterly to present anything resembling a unified front. I am deeply concerned: we have squandered far too much in the primaries, and the winter will bring cold tidings.

Besides, what does it matter if their philosophy is founded on mud, when it's built entirely of bullshit? It always stinks but never quite sinks.

4. I agree. We patriots are going to be VERY disappointed in November.

There will be NO "revvalooshun" at the polls.

There will be no revolution ANYWHERE until
there is revolution in the STREETS.

And the American Public has been SO hypnotized for SOOO long....
I think it will take a few decades of LITERALLY wearing chains
before the idea of "revolution" even occurs to it.

3. Your optimism is contagious

They will try to steal another election --

But what the hay -- it's late and optimism rhymes with your user name <grin>
