We know the bankster are in collusion with Congress/Senate of both parties.They are actively working against citizen interests, domestically and internationally.<br /><br />There are "fringe" groups on the right and left. <br /><br />Unfortunately on the right, the rascists like KKK, Birchers, White Supremes, and right wing anarchists are a large contingent and they are more interested in a civil war. With them its still black vs white.<br /><br />We also have those poor and middle class citizens who dont follow history or even news. They are just pissed and when they do watch news, its probably Fox.<br /><br />There were also progresives at these events because they were Ron Paul supporters, wanting to close down the fed,worried the economic package is a failure, worried about the Patriot Act, spying on americans, torture and other reasons. They know that both parties are in pocket of the multi nationals and banksters.<br /><br />It was a mixed bag.

I know you wouldn't be happy with people labeling ALL the anti-war protests from the mid-decade as "lunatic" and "fringe" due to the minority of those who had similar signs as the one you saw, just about Bush, et . al.Hubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735857200853965829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-8273742396345622862009-04-16T17:18:00.000-04:002009-04-16T17:18:00.000-04:00I'm wondering if some people were even at the same...I'm wondering if some people were even at the same event I was, LOL !a most peculiar naturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13131721132161386999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-86035341302464885312009-04-16T16:54:00.000-04:002009-04-16T16:54:00.000-04:00"I like that slippery slope of equating rightwing ..."I like that slippery slope of equating rightwing extremism to the concept of the Tea Parties"<br /><br />I saw a poster yesterday at the Wilm teabaggery with words to this effect: "What we used to do to those who taxed us," beneath which was a sketch of man being hanged.<br /><br />I didn't see one African American at the tea baggery yesterday. Some lamented that fact. Not me. Given the inflammatory and hateful temperament of some of the people I talked to I would have feared for an African American's safety. <br /><br />The slippery slope was well eroded yesterday in Wilm, DE.Delaware Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619357338844485803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-59920627649279173642009-04-16T14:28:00.000-04:002009-04-16T14:28:00.000-04:00So many people are so very stressed out right now,...So many people are so very stressed out right now, it is no wonder they try to find ways to feel as if they have even a little bit of control over their lives, as everything seems to have spun out of control.<br /><br />Both "sides" in the media world are feeding this; it almost seems to be a sort of gleeful, malicious frenzy.<br /><br />I don't watch the famous "talking-head" shows on either side of the spectrum. Just reading the news makes me depressed enough.<br /><br />I don't know what can be done about this, as everybody needs their media ratings. I wish people would try to have a better understanding of each others' hopes and fears. <br /><br />But I think that is probably just too much to ask. The dialogue has just become too contentious. It's sad, because we're really all in this together as a country.<br /><br />Until such point in time that it is every man for himself.a most peculiar naturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13131721132161386999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-24511368944827901872009-04-16T12:41:00.000-04:002009-04-16T12:41:00.000-04:00Well observed.

Spewing poison at people struggling to survive and feeling utterly disenfranchised only reinforces their worst fears or even paranoias.<br /><br />I suspect this is really what the screaching anti-right/prObama juveniles want to incite and inflame. <br /><br />Many are so vicious and obsessive in their assaults on real or perceived opponents of their ongoing majoritarian coercion franchise, it is as though they want violence or actual extreme acts to take place.<br /><br />Irrespective of the real stakes and real lives this might hurt, it would convenience their own absolutist world view and further their mania to destroy, politically or otherwise, anyone who doesn't share it in chorus.Tyler Nixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03009459340275592274noreply@blogger.com
