The GOTP (Grand, Old, Teapublican, Party) would appear on the surface to be concerned with social issues to the detriment of the economy and education and rebuilding OUR nation’s infrastructure.
The fact is that the OLD GOP is abandoning the NEW GOTP and moving in droves to the middle as independents.
Thus the percentage of remaining GOTP voters who favor the more radical positions on social issues is growing as a result of the mass exodus away from the GOTP by conservatives.
In fact I myself feel strongly that conservatives and progressives think more alike than not when it comes to balance and compromise and fairness in the tax code.
I spew forth quite a bit on Newsvine which is a popular site for citizen’s to seed and write articles – most being news centric.
But as is the case in all aspects of our society today .. the corporate foot print is clearly visiable on the backs of OUR necks … and the truth has a difficult time getting passed the censures of the corpocracy.
Who are these surrogates of the fabled BIg Brother we all are told is OUR Government?
Corporations ….. and lest you forget … the media is owned, sponsored and managed by the corpocracy.
In addition the media has been drifting away from facts and injecting more and more opinion into news over the decades.
What is unpleasant tends to lower ratings …. but unfortunately what is often the truth is often unpleasant.
Another feeling I have about reality TV shows …. which are for a growing number of americans a substitute for the harsh reality of their lives.
What I’m writing here I’m sure does not sit well with many readers.
But it must be written – over and over – as well as spoken over and over.
Americans are in the firm grasp of the corporate controlled mind machine we think is benign but that is a a malignant cancer that is eating away our minds and replacing individuality with “group think”
