Americans have to be told of the plan for a new Fascist Empire!
What has been going is nothing short of craziness. Everyday we see the repuke administration, Christian right and news media pushing a corrupt hardlined right wing agenda. We are seeing our rights being taken over by lies and manipulation. We are seeing votes being destroyed,changed and uncounted. Many of the new electronic voting machines have no means for recount and are easily hacked to change outcomes. We are seeing districts purposely being redistricted. We see major corporations controlling huge amounts of paper and television journalism. We see the news media working hand in hand with the repuke administration to derail any opposition to its agenda. We see how corporate America works hand in hand with the administration on new legislation, ex; energy, pharmaceutical. We see economic policies being developed to benefit the top 2% while all others are left holding the bill. We see major wars being started based and greed while the official reason for the war has been changed multiple times. We see our soldiers being maimed and killed but we see no pictures to make the connection. We see extreme torture taking place and official documents showing leaders approval but we see no justice for these crimes against humanity. We see war profiteering at an alarming rate ex; Haliburton. We see these contracts to Haliburton as no bids, handouts because of direct ties to Dick Cheney. We see Haliburton being fined for willfully manipulating their profits while under the leadership of Cheney. We see only a slap on the wrist for being caught. We see every gain the repuke party received has been through lying, cheating and stealing.

Americans that don't often follow politics are going to have to filled in what really is taking place here. I'm sure once they start hearing and seeing in detail what has been going on it wont take them long.

1. Most Americans don't care
and won't care. Until it's too late.

2. How about laying it all out
which is not being done and let's see how much Americans care? Personally given the truth, I think Americans would very much care. Of course ignorance is no excuse and Americans have an obligation to educate themselves, but a little help wouldn't hurt for those who are too lazy to find the truth.

3. have Americans not been given the truth?
They have, and they have found it difficult to digest, if not altogether unpalatable. Lies go down so much easier and feel so much better.

7. I don't agree
Most would care if heard any of this put together in a simple conversation on any of these news commentary programs. I know it's a subject of conversation behind the scenes. I have noticed repuke officials starting to squirm in their chair when someone has mention the word Nazi or Fascist, ex; Tweety had Chuck Hagel on the other day and he used the word Nazi a few times, Hagel took a while to compose himself when he heard that word, i mean there was no mistaking he was uneasy about it. I have also seen Robert Kennedy say flat out what is going today in this country is Fascism, it was quickly taken off topic by the host, I think that was on a C-span program.

6. See the DVD "Hijacking Catastrophe"
I don't have a link but I'm sure if you google the title you'll find it right away. I think they only cost $10 or something. It is VERY good at putting the neoconservative/PNAC agenda right out where everyone can see it--and how they've used 9/11 to that end. I've shown it to about 40 people so far and they all agree it is more concise and to the point than f9/11. It isn't funny. It isn't conspiracy. It's an agenda.
