Editor’s Note:
The neocon Republicans and Interventionist Democrats cream their jeans over the new Libyan government. Actually, the place has descended into anarchy, which suits the Western multinational corporations just fine. You see, the money that Gaddafi “wasted” on social programmes will now flow into the already-swollen coffers of the McMansion dwellers. Isn’t that SPECIAL? Who cares if they shoot at priests? The money’s flowing to the RIGHT PEOPLE now… THAT’S what important. I observe that the inordinate cost of the attempt by the American political/economic ruling element at enforcing global hegemony by the multinational oligarchs has bankrupted the nation… it has crippled it for the next generation, at least (if not more… Reaganite voodoo economics sucked away at the substance of the economy). Those McMansions bear a very dear price tag, indeed… borne by the ordinary sloggers out there, not by the snotty affluent effluent filth who inhabit them. God DOES see and He SHALL judge.
If you vote for the Republicans, you vote for greed, torture, “the survival of the fittest”, and no regulation upon the most feral amongst us… Remember their motto… “Be silent, you ungrateful bastard, or you’ll find out what the Patriot Act‘s REALLY all about…”
The Nazis, at least, took care of the German working class (there’s no Tea Party equivalent of KdF)… the American Republicans do NOT… draw your own conclusions.
