The GOP Bubble: by Cynic 2005 – November 13, 2004 Late 90’s – stock market bubble Mid 00’s – Rightwing bubble During the stock market bubble: - Nay sayers, however few, were branded “anti-American” - CNBC and Blodget, Glassman, Cohen, and almost all analysts were “in things” - Analysts spread such voodoo mantras as new economy, valuations do not matter, and dividends do not matter - Most people were eager to buy into the scams orchestrated by Wall Street firms - About 95% of the public participated - In a nut shell – lying, collusion and brainwashing the masses was rampant - Most participants of the bubble eventually got a rude awakening. Non participants suffered as well. Now, during the Rightwing bubble: - Anybody who disagrees with Bush’s policy is being branded an anti American and anti-Christ. - FOX and the talk radio elite Rush, Hannity, Savage, O’Riely etc. are “in things” - Moral values (a.ka. abortion rights, gay bashing, gun rights, rape and pillage of the Constitution, contempt to the environment, poor and the minorities etc) are more important than men and women losing lives for an ill-conceived war and the souring economy. - Rightwing nuts are eager to buy into the brainwash medicine from the right wing propaganda machine - About 50% of Americans are active or tacit participants of this rightwing bubble. - In a nut shell – lying, collusion and brainwashing the masses is rampant - Most Bushies WILL eventually get the rude awakening. I certainly hope it is not before this country becomes another Nazi Germany. When the awakening happens, unfortunately, non Bushies will suffer too.
