That it's not about blue vs. red, D vs. R, or "liberal" vs. "conservative?"

That it's about the behind the scenes tyrants who buy off the politicians (of both parties)--namely the Wall St. bankers and lobbyists?

That it's about the corporate MSM who keeps us in constant fear so we'll sacrifice our liberties to be "safe?"

That it's about keeping us in fear so we constantly fight each other, while ignoring the theft, looting, and destruction of everything around us?

That we now live in a police state?

That both parties are 99% the same?

Anyone?

Then why are most Americans too stupid to realize that?

Why do so-called "Tea Party Patriots" vote for big-government progressives like Romney, and statist Republicans in general?

Why do so-called "anti-war progressives" vote for mass-murdering war criminals like Obama, and warmongering Democrats in general?

What does "progressive" even mean to you people? If one isn't progressive, does that make one regressive? Why would one want to be backward thinking?

I've been preaching this for years, but no one's listening. It's always "but the liberals blah blah blah" or "right wing conservatives blah blah blah". People who believe and participate in the bipartisan system are part of the problem. Unfortunately, I believe it is too late. The few that care are vastly out numbered by those who will just stick their heads in the sand in the name of materialism and continue to support the continued tyranny imposed by the government backed by the wealthy.

Because people don't want to throw away their vote, and would rather support the big ticket candidate than take a stand and cast a vote for someone they know has no chance of winning.

And we're too stupid to realize that until we stop voting for who the Republican and Democratic parties give us to pick from, things will never change.

Why do people speak of "warmongering Democrats"?

Are thehy completely ignorant of how we came to be involved in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Sure enough the following posts went right back to the game without batting an eye.

We are doomed.
