George,
I was brought up to be a conservative Catholic. Sort of in the same mode as John Hansen, or whoever that super-spy was. So when you talk to me about preconceptions and brainwashing, I know exactly what you are referring to. It was only once I started to actually develop the cognitive and analytic abilities requisite to see through the lies of those who would enslave me to a religion or to a dismal imperialist rip-off like the rape of Viet Nam that I began to think independently and outside of the mainstream. And only then did the vulgarity of most of the clap trap that is fed to the American public become obvious to me.
That's why, when I read this sort of intelligent analysis of the official lies that I get so angered about an Administration that is completely hell bent on lying with its every breath:
More Covering for the Failure in Thief
It's gone now, but the Yahoo headline yesterday said, "CBO says small surplus in Bush budget."
That way, if you only read the headline, you think Smirk has turned the corner on his family-busting recession and we're headed back in black.
When I finally got around to reading the story, the details said,
"Bush's budget would produce a larger deficit next year and a smaller total surplus over the coming decade than the White House has projected," the CBO said.
That means exactly the OPPOSITE of what the headline said. "Smaller than the White House projected" means the White House lied.
Just like ENRON, Bush is cooking the books to cover the billions he's stealing.
Why are the news organizations covering for the idiot-thief? Why can't they just report the news and stop lying to protect him? bartcop.com ********************************************************* What is it that you don't understand about how awfully corrosive to democracy the present regime happens to be? Are you simply being willful because you are in on the take?
