Anti-gay Zeal Greatest In Those Fearing Own Gayness?

For some time I've been mystified by the obsessive hostility by some

in our nation toward folks of the same sex who want to marry. I always

figured if you don't want a gay marriage, then don't have one. But

then I happened on a scientific survey on homophobia, and the

motivation behind at least some of the condemnation became clear to me.

Democracy Or Corpocracy?

We are in a state of undeclared war. The Corpocracy that now controls

America. Wages are now starting to decline, benefits are being taken

away, there are more poor in America than anytime since the great

depression. The working man in America no longer has representation in

Congress.

Speaking Truthiness To Power: Why The MSM And The Far Right Treat

Colbert With Icy Silence

But Colbert's real target was the media, the media which has been

bought out and turned into mouthpieces for major corporations, and

which reports nothing that would displease their corporate masters.

For years, they didn't breathe a word of criticism of Putsch, not when

he bungled America into two pointless and futile wars, not when he

blew up the federal debt to unimaginable levels, not when he raided

the national treasury to give his wealthy benefactors returns of

thousands to one on what they donated to get him elected. The press

remained mute and neutralized through endless scandal and arrogance

and contempt for law and the constitution. They remain largely silent,

and they do so because their masters fear that being outspoken might

hurt profits, or be bad for business.

Congress has risen sharply, along with the percentage of Americans who

Pro-democracy Group Calls For International Aid

" If Abraham Lincoln famously defined 'democracy' as 'government of, by

and for the people,' " the statement reads, " American democracy was

always government OVER everyone, BY a small wealthy class, and (with

an occasional exception) FOR these same few. " Wealth in private

property has always been the main criteria for rule. In current times,

however, the capture of power by George W. Bush through two stolen

elections marks a new moment in US history. " Even the modest degree of

influence Americans once enjoyed over their rulers has practically

disappeared, " the statement says.
