They Never Give Up. . .

And As Long As We Continue To "Allow" It - Their Lies Will Continue
by The Old Hippie Because It's Not Outside Forces - It's The "Us Destroying Us" That Is Reality

George Bush said in his Veterans Day speech...  "It is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how the war began.  More than 100 Democrats in the House and the Senate who had access to the same intelligence voted to support removing Saddam Hussein from power." That was a direct and purposeful lie, and he knew he was lying when he said it.  The Democrats, like the rest of us, had only the "intelligence" that the WHIG, and the Office of Special Plans, (housed in the corporate offices of the AEI, not inside our government's offices,) "allowed out" to the Democrats and the public.

Is It Possible?  Like So Many Nations Before It - America Destroyed From Within?

I am a realist, not a denialist.  I know it is possible that America can be, and most likely will be, if it happens, destroyed from within, not from without.  In my short 58 years on this mortal coil I've watched my nation go from respected to hated, from a sane guiding light to the world to the feared bully, from battling tyranny to being a tyranny - From what used to be a functioning Constitutional Democracy to the brink of an enhanced opportunistic and corrupt Corporatist Theocratic and Ideological state, with totalitarian safeguards, with a six-corporation controlled media. And I have witnessed the successful erosion of the Separation of the Church and the State, to the point that religious [nut-job Evangelical Christian] mythology is being allowed to be purposely and opportunistically confused with the reality of science.

I really don't think most Americans truly realize just how close we are to losing "America."  Throughout the whole history of this unique experiment of the American Constitutional Democracy, the American Revolution, the internal turmoil of the Civil War, the Great Depression, the two World Wars, the Cultural Revolution during the 60s/70s and the Vietnam War," never has our nation been so close to losing all of its protections from the "Separation of Powers."   Never.

Our once powerful protection of the Separation of Powers has now been consolidated into one corrupted party of the corporations, which is still in power, still doing all it can to take as much "power" away from the people and the other branches, and put it into the single branch of the Executive - the hands of the few - away from the "Republic" and into the corporate controllers of the "Empire."  And "they" are continuing to do so even in the face of all of the recent exposures of corrupt cronyism.

These are not "interesting times" we live in, they are very dangerous times, for the Constitutional Democracy, for the hope of real freedoms and liberties for all peoples, and not to mention for the reality of our environment. I can't deny that I find the fact that 35% [currently] of my fellow Americans still live inside the denial of this reality.
