A Clinton/Obama status quo Presidency is NOT what we voted for! by W. Christopher Epler (Bill) (Posted by W. Christopher Epler (Bill)) Page 1 of 3 page(s) |

The jury is in. This is going to be a Clinton/Obama Presidency (in that order). The appointments are all DLC Clinton machine right wing dems, and that just ain't good enough. And it CERTAINLY isn't what Obama promised. For openers, it's now clear that Middle Eastern diplomacy isn't even on the table, plus the capstone of Obama's domestic promises (taxing the elites) is now being procrastinated for SEVERAL YEARS -- in spite of dire warnings of many economists who say that to extend this endless Christmas for the elites will be suicidal to our Bush-bankrupted economy. It's also imperative to remember that BOTH Clinton and Bush worked to redefine what would have been very right wing eight years ago into the alleged "centrists" of 2008. Indeed, the 2006 Congress of dem traitors were puked out by the DLC Clinton machine. Conversely, the so called “progressives” of 2008 were merely the centrists of year 2000. Is the Clinton Presidency (oops, I mean the Clinton/Obama Presidency) going to be a "lesser of the evils" when compared to the corporative fascism and religious fanaticism of the Bush horror show years?
Undoubtedly yes . . . but probably not much. Hey, Obama's even keeping Gates for Secretary of Defense. Naturally there are all kinds of rationalizations for keeping a George Bush appointment (remember, Obama said he would immediately change ALL of Bush's decisions), but it's now heartbreakingly obvious that Obama has no intention of honoring the multiple promises he made during both the primaries and Presidential campaign.
Indeed, he has already locked us to the dead and rotting past we were so fearful could only come from John McCain.
In short we have been snookered again. Obama's watch word was "change", but so far it’s wall to wall status quo. President Status Quo Obama.
So, back to our ONE party dem/pug political system. Back to having our international policy being dictated by recycled neocons, i.e., being a tail wagged by the Israeli lunatic fringe right wing (who the Clinton's have been licking the boots of for decades). And back to having basically our ENTIRE GOVERNMENT suck up to national/international elites.
So does the evidence to date indicate that we're going to take even one giant step away from having America's working class treated like cattle in a Dictatorship of the Rich? Nope. Maybe a "baby step" will be allowed by the elites for strategy reasons, but a giant step -- in your dreams.
Ironically, the Republican Party may be in ruins, but the {DLC Clinton machine} + {Israeli right wing extremists} + {the national/international fraternity of Greek God like elites} couldn’t be more alive and well.
Moral: It's time to jump out of this political box once and for all. Look, Obama’s April Fools are as good as its ever going to get; and this means a one dem/pug political party of elite puppets and professional status quo NON boat rockers will be the decorated Police State America has been morphed into.
But ONLY if we keep putting all our money into this lose/lose political game.
Dear God, isn't it obvious by now that politics (all of it) IS the problem? Maybe once upon a time we could look to our nationally elected officials to be representatives of the will of the people, but that Camelot has long since dissolved into dreamland.
Politics now is ONE THING ONLY: a gaggle of hypocritical, greed obsessed, willing assassins whose souls have long since been sold to multi millionaire and multimillionaire elites. They all feed at the same hog trough (dems & pugs equally) which the elites provide for their bought and paid for zombies (think "Judas media"!) and they are the mortal enemies of our Constitutional Republic and even bare minimum morality.
Naturally, there are a handful of honorable and courageous exceptions, but they simply prove the rule.
In short, our "political system" is unequivocally THE ENEMY.

Reply: Noam Chomsky -- the ultimate voice of social/political truth
Perhaps more to the point, hopefully this piece is in basic agreement with Noam Chomsky, who, for this author, has been for decades the ultimate voice of of political/social truth in America. He's not just America's conscience, he's also America's brain. by W.

In regard to the huge mountain of evidence pointing to governmental complicity in the 911 debacle: Chomsky doesn't get it. He either hasn't bothered to look at the evidence or his large mind doesn't allow for the possibility of 'Dirty Chess' in global politics. by Randje Mitchell (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 77 comments) on Monday, Dec 1, 2008 at 7:14:16 PM

Reply: Yes, odd that Chomsky doesn't talk about 9/11.
Randjie, Thanks for that info. Hmmm. That surprises me. But now that I think about it, I don't recall him ever mentioning it during his rare interviews. Speaking of interviews, you know Chomsky was basically excommunicated from TV interviews and speechs for years. I'm sure it was because they knew (in spite of themselves) that this guy was ultimately dangerous to the American political system, because he clearly had seen ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT!
