****** Do we allow the Diversion / Distraction of the Political Clowns in DC, and believe me, it's only getting Air Time so that the Magicians can continue to misdirect our attention, to Parade "their" selected scapegoats of the past administration before C SPAN Cameras -OR- Do we stay focused on the "Change" Administration's activity ?
So far, I have seen very little Change, how can you, when the few jobs that got new faces were from the Past !
I am a Canadian living in France and what Naomi is talking about I witness every day I go to the Mall. Within 15 minutes if you sit at a cafe terrace inside a large Parisian Mall you will see three different law enforcement groups (read repression forces) parade in front of your eyes. First the municipal police, then a few minutes late,r oh look mom that's the National police and before your coffee gets cold you see the military walk by with their machine guns. And all these forces march by in groups of three. Being from Canada I can't get accustomed to see so much security (read repression forces) roaming about uselessly (at the expense of tax payers) and have come to the realization that I moved to a police state where they demagogically claim, Liberté, Egalité et Fraternité.
I'm not that supprised at the militarization of our society, but I am supprised at the lack of alarm. I work with people who in one sentence complain because they are pro-gun right's which is fine, but in the next sentence they are justifying goverment sponsored torture. The dissassociation is amazing to me. Drives me insane!
Naomi Wolf how's that Obama Constitution working for you?
She has a screw loose, I was no Bush supporter but Obama makes him
look like a piker. Obama thinks he's a professional campaigner while
Rohlm Emanuel runs the presidency. Obama has shredded the 10 amendment,
an now going after the 1 & 2nd amendment. Look at what the White House is trying to do to FOX News. Obama needs to be tried for Treason.
I find it really a shame that a school like Harvard and Yale University has produced so many radicals. Over the years most of the good Universities have
employed radical professors with an agenda and they pass that passion and agenda
on to the likes of Obama, and many of his friends that he has employed with
Harvard degrees.
