Here's my two-cents (anonymously submitted) from 2005...
A Planet Full of Hitlers
The world's billionaires, led by the Bush "madministration," are acting like a planet of full of Hitlers. They are willing to invade whatever region in the world has what the world needs most -- oil.
Black gold. Texas tea. Petrodollars.
They figure they have all the money. And basically, apart from a Soros here and a Gates there, they do.
And thus, the worlds billionaires and their hounds of the BFEE want to spend it all before they die. And they have the plan and cash on hand to do so.
Consider the Bush agenda: All War. All the Time. Government spending for the MI-Complex, transferring trillions to the wealthy corporate owners, war and all.
These are the likes of the industrialists Mussolini, Franco and Hitler so loved.
And like the fascist trifecta, the American fascists of the BFEE have bought all the political power. Don't just think Tom Roach Motel DeLay and Mr. Friskie Frist. Remember Prescott Bush and Averell Harriman and Allen Dulles and Rheinhard Gehlen and Igor Orlov.
What can we do about it? Theyve bought all the legal power, built law schools for Federalist Society AND Opus Dei judges. Think Bill Eagle Eye Rehnquist and Antonin Fat Tony Scalia.
These turds of the BFEE have worked all the tax breaks and bankrupty laws for the rich. Uncle Sam reverse-Robin Hoods wealth to the top 1-percent of country.
And what do these rich turds who prop up Bush use their tax savings on? They certainly haven't invested it in making America a better place to work or live; they've invested in "off-shoring."
Lots of the tax money goes to buy more vacation homes, yachts and jet planes. Most goes offshore to the Caymans and Switzerland.
And of course they want more without having to pay for the damage to the environment. Farmland depletion in the USA. Rain forest depletion around the globe. Oceans getting acidic. Fish stock depletion. Global air pollution and water shortages.
Well. OK. Maybe a case can be made its the rich folks money. They can do what they want. But they should pay their fair share of taxes! After all, the rest of society helps keep them in their position. And its our brothers and sisters in the armed forces who are giving their lives to keep their oil and power and privilege.
Budget red ink means no money for middle class. No money for schools. No money for cities and suburbs and farms. No money for roads. No money for science and R and D. No money for the future.
And the media? What media? What Fairness Doctrine?
They cover up their materialism and venality with all the talk about Faith-based this and Conservative-values that. But the reality is these are sinister wolves and satanic bed-wetting bastards in sheep's clothing we are dealing with.
Wasnt that what Bush really meant when he told Bob Woodward History? Who cares about history? In a hundred years well all be dead.
Just like Hitler. And just like Hitler, Bush wants to take us all with him.

(2,382 posts)Superb. Ideologically speaking, we are brothers from other mothers. Your posts always enlighten.
I'm hoping to record another rant later today, but my best friend whose technical wizardry makes it happen has two teenage daughters, so... we'll see.
Have a good weekend, 8fish!

(14,593 posts)us the excuse not to try and make this world a better place because we have lived. The problem here, is that somehow this hate-group of people genuinely feels that IT'S ideas make the world better.
I don't think there's any solution, really, but to expose that hate-bullshit to bright light, ridicule it, repudiate it, and swear it off for general society, and then hope the crazies crawl back under the scummy rocks in the swamp of evil.
The other thing we MUST do, though, in conjunction with this, is force the corporate shills in DC and on Wall Street to acquiesce to policies that promote better health, better food, better lives, more economic security, better education and social justice. People who do not feel economically and socially stressed are less likely to join hate groups.
That's why I like Bernie. He's speaking truth to power and telling us all to get off our rear ends and become engaged and informed citizens.
Problem is we've had 40 years of steady corporate every-man-for-himself-and-devil-take-the-hindmost propaganda to set up this wonderful neoliberal 'free market' paradise in which we all live. Lots of money out there backing hatred, bigotry and intolerance...

(2,382 posts)... more complex and frustrating than trying to unravel a tangled wad of fishing line, but it CAN be done. Indeed, it MUST be done, or the United States of America will just be an interesting historical footnote. Assuming, of course, that the corporate kleptocracy that replaces representative democracy even allows mention of it in the revisionist "history" that will be rammed down every third grader's throat.
We will start by exposing and utterly discrediting the bitch-goddess of pathological selfishness, Alisa Rosenbaum, better known as Ayn Rand. Her third-rate door-stop novels and her asinine bumper-sticker "philosophy" of objectivism have been touchstones for the corporatists for nearly three generations.
Then we rewrite the laws of corporate governance WITHOUT input from corporatists. Every corporation is a Beneficial Corporation, or it does not do business in this country. Period.
The Electoral College is abolished. The Fairness Doctrine (fuck you, Reagan!) is reinstated, as is Glass-Steagall.
I could go on for hours, but I got stuff to do. See y'all when DU cranks up its new boilers to start pumping Truth, Justice, and the American Way through the Intertubes!
