A militant INDEPENDENT democratic socialist's attempt to expose the truth of our culture – in all its rich irony and absurdity.

Democracy failing in America ?
The NEWS media is just rotting the American mind. Clearly
most Americans - for whatever reasons besides brainwashing - support
the war against Iraq - with very little evidence that the Sadamm Hussein
regime -tyranny that it is - had any connection with September 11, or
that his " weapons of mass destruction " are a greater threat to our
national security than China's . His military is clearly organized to
perpetuate his tyranny, not to conquer the infidel for the greater
glory of Allah. And since when did we find two-bit dictators so
insufferable ? Look at our record closer to home in Latin America !
The Left here would have applauded a military action against Chile's
Pinochet , just as one example.
What if the United Nations judged our " weapons of mass destruction "
UNACCEPTABLE ? We arrogantly ask the whole world : " Are you for us
or against us ? " What if THEY - armed with nuclear power in the future-
are against us ?
President Bush and his White House gang babble about God
as much as those sickening Islamic fanatics. Where is FREE SPEECH
in an atmosphere attuned to reactionary TALK RADIO ?
In a country controlled by the Spanish Inquisition even the
poor,lonely Jew will kiss the cross !
I respect the peace movement and deplore the censorship of its
opinions and insights. But I would like to think that those PEACENIKS
are not just the mirror image of the TALK RADIO RIGHT .
The Left for more than a generation on college campuses
has shown little respect for FREE SPEECH. It made POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
a sort of screwball tyranny. And now - I guess - is payback time !
But American democracy is rapidly fading into a pretentious
illusion. Brainless people search their souls and find... a slogan !
Newspapers are almost as bad as TALK RADIO - but
still a lot more literate. You can always find some unpleasant TRUTH
between the lines .
Also pathetic are Arab nationalists who find a hero in
Saddam Hussein. They have the mind of a mule !
Hopefully , at least CIVILIZATION - preferably WESTERN
CIVILIZATION - will survive the coming Dark Age.
To fix America we need a lot more than a regime change.
How cocky will we be a year from now ?
