You really need to be here on the front lines to see what private mis-information has done to warp the public perceptions. Big moneyed interests have mobilized the Young Earth Creationists and Baby Savers to put those issues front and center, destroying any interest in actual public issues like taxation and spending.

Those same interests then (through their radio and telly stations) force their correspondents to wade through the shit stirred by Darwin Haters and Fetus Lovers and, again, avoid real issues. Any one who challenges the Consumer Party Line doesn't get press coverage for their campaign, and gets even less money to spend on that campaign.

People can protest all they want, but here's the kicker: I've seen protest marches a million strong go completely unreported, while a mob of ten or fifteen Tea Baggers gets the cameras and the air time

Maybe I should start a troll thread where I ramble on about the various threats faced by "Mr. Socko the glovepuppet" or better still, the invisible fairies who only come out when nobody else is looking.

No, it doesn't, and yet professors who profess its perfection are chosen to teach, and textbooks which profess its perfection are bought for classes, and talking heads who profess its perfection are on the telly constantly . . . .

It's like someone who benefits from low taxes is somehow getting that message out. Hmmmm. . . .
