I'm still sick with the flu; headache stuff that precludes the few hours reading 'news' articles that allow me to build a web of links just isn't going to happen today.
Many of the links we have been sharing have to do with the difference between what the present administration says and reality, or at least what is reported to us, in a best case scenario. So here's a quote:
"If you are covering your ass, you're losing your ass"- LBJ, another Texan...
When compassion is extended only to people at the 'Pioneer' level of support ( big big money contributors, you know the folks able to take advantage of the last couple rounds of tax cuts) for Mr Bush's conservative voters you can see something is being lost in transmission. I got the above quotation from "Boy Genius" ' Karl Rove the Brains Behind the Remarkable Political Triumph of George W. Bush' Dubose, Reid, Cannon PublicAffairs Ny Ny- the book you need to read if Karl Rove was just some faceless bogeyman you had heard of but... it will color your view of Democracy lately.
Read the Patriot 2 stuff from yesterdays posting, please; download the text. Get familiar with it. Then balance what you know with what's presented to you by the mainstream media. Then you'll have a better understanding of why Democracy is at risk. Talk with people about it to gain more perspective. What is your vision of America, five, ten, or twenty years down the road. Further. Is this act consenant with your hopes and vision of the American dream?
