It's all part of the authoritarian package.<br /><br />Thanks to Maddow, who has a sense for these kinds of stories, we're able to track the march to an authoritarian state. Oddly, Maddow is not looking at it from the authoritarian angle, but more as a war on women or power grab to win elections. <br /><br />Great comments, thanks.Democurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336177394503335112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183447461205976739.post-18277380019428229762012-09-15T08:58:59.512-05:002012-09-15T08:58:59.512-05:00Throwing a little gasoline on the fire?

Every day Ryan works to dispel the myth that he is a serious policy man, one of the deep thinkers in the Republican party.<br /><br />I wish politicians of both parties would dispense with the euphemisms about freedom, progress and moral clarity and just use the phrase "Corporate Empire". This is what they are advocating after all and it would clarify to American citizens what their family members are really fighting and dying for.<br /><br />I'm sorry to break this news to those who haven't figured it out, but our citizen soldiers are not dying for our freedom, they are dying so that the Corporate Empire can flourish and the Dick Cheneys of the world can get stinking rich.<br /><br />If these wars are for our freedom them why do we have so much less of it now that nonviolent protest is labeled by the government as "low-level terrorism"?Garethnoreply@blogger.com
