   Holliston Perni to All   
   DeLay and Keeping Americans Polarized   
   20 Oct 05 10:23:10   
   
   From: hperni@AmericanJunta.com   
      
               Tempting as it may be, liberals shouldn't be too quick to gloat   
   over the antics of  Republican strong man Tom DeLay vs. Travis County   
   district attorney, Ronnie Earle, a Democrat. In the first place, DeLay is no   
   more or less honest than any of our other corrupt 'representatives', from   
   either side of the aisle. He simply got caught, and tried to play hardball   
   with the wrong Democrat. But the issue goes far deeper. The whole corrupt   
   two-party political machine has become so entrenched, and is SO totally   
   bought and sold by American big business and, more recently, multinationals,   
   that they have become emboldened to the point where they no longer feel the   
   slightest impetus toward even a pretext of representing the will and   
   wellbeing of the American people.   
      
               Jobs going overseas hurting the people? Fuck 'em. It helps the   
   big business concerns, so it stays. Borders too porous? Illegals taking   
   American jobs? Fuck 'em! Big business wants cheap labor.  (These aren't jobs   
   Americans don't WANT; they're jobs Americans can't afford to take at   
   $5/hour, so that the rapacious CEO can maintain his multi-million dollar   
   salary, and the greedy shareholders can watch their portfolio swell.) People   
   in California, Montana, and several other states want legalized medical   
   marijuana? Fuck 'em! It'll take business away from the big pharmaceutical   
   companies, and besides, drug ENFORCEMENT is the government's own big, money   
   generating business. So, who cares of a dirtbag like DeLay goes down?  Every   
   now and then they have to throw one of their own to the wolves. Why? To keep   
   the people properly polarized, so they still think they're participating in   
   a democracy. What makes you think so? Because you manage to vote every four   
   years? People in the former Soviet Union voted too, and their choices were   
   every bit as meaningful as ours. The only difference is that we DO have   
   numerous third-party choices, from the honest far-right candidates of the   
   Constitutionalist Party, to the honest far-left of the Communist Worker's   
   Party. You know what? I'd rather see candidates from EITHER of these   
   extremes, or any of the multitude in between, than any of these lying,   
   manipulative 'Republicrats'.   
      
               The secret of their success, of course, is to keep us polarized.   
   Who would vote for a loser like Bush, if he wasn't running against a loser   
   like Kerry? But those on the right are SO afraid of Kerry, that they vote   
   for Bush, rather than someone from a third party who might better represent   
   their views, and who might (heaven forbid) be saying what he/she really   
   believes, rather than what they think will get your vote. And who would vote   
   for a loser like Kerry, but for fear of four more years under a liar, war   
   criminal, and enemy of humanity like George W. Bush?   
      
               Of course, the media (big business) has an obvious stake in   
   maintaining the two-party stranglehold, so they perpetuate these polarizing   
   tactics. The show us morons from the right arguing for the assassination of   
   foreign leaders,  or saying that New Orleans is the righteous wrath of God   
   so that those from the left are filled with revulsion, and never stop to   
   think that there are MANY intelligent, thoughtful conservatives who would   
   never even think along such imbecilic lines.   
      
               Coming at this another way, where would big business BE if they   
   had to bribe a dozen parties instead of only two?   
      
               Thinking this through a bit further, what about all of these   
   super secret agencies, that don't have names, get funded (by secret   
   'Republicrat' committees) from black budgets, and do whatever they please?   
   Who's pulling THEIR strings? Big business.  Indeed, the same can be said of   
   every law enforcement officer in the country, who swears to uphold the will   
   of the government, regardless of whether it's fair or not, regardless of   
   whether it's legal or not, regardless of whether it's moral or not. Is THIS   
   what Americans WANT their country to be? Now THAT would be a truly sad   
   commentary.   
      
               The American people need to wake up and start expending the   
   effort to see through these transparently manipulative little shows staged   
   for their benefit, do a little leg work, and throw all these scheming   
   'Republicrat' bastards out of OUR government.
