Why are we letting republicans tell us what to learn from the election.
The election didn't give them any mandate. It didn't say that the public wanted to go back to bush. it didn't say that they hated liberals and loved conservatives.

The election showed people are pissed. They are angry with everyone. Democrats and republicans are their target. And since the Democratic party has been acting more and more conservative, the real conclusion would be that they are mad at Democrats as much as they are the republicans because they are both too conservative.

But at least we don't need to let the republicans be the ones to tell everyone what the election means. And we most certainly don't need to act like we think they know what they are talking about by agreeing with them or trying to be more like them.

Leftward, Ho !!!

3. Actually, American Media own them.
They just do their bidding in our government, ensuring their Masters may do whatever the fuck they want, with impunity.

Our Fourth Estate is long dead, and the sooner the American people understand this, the better it will be for all of us. Until then, we'll continue to believe the crap they spoon-feed us in HD colors and pretty faces.

People need to watch "V for Vendetta". Hopefully, they'll see what's happening to them.
