[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 774697, member: 2189"] Brent Bozell of all people knows the truth and yet he helps create these exercises in futility which will never "strike the root" of the problem to begin with. Look beyond the curtain! I admire the willingness to expend the time and energy but go for the heart! And while everyone screams back and forth at each other from the left/right construct, a construct created for herd control IMO, neither side looks in the middle to see who benefits either way while working against both constructs made up of average folk at the end of the day. The right defends the corp. interests under some illusion that this is the free market and that it's this entity from which all jobs must always flow. The left defends gov't as if it is the knight in shining armor who will ride up and protect us from the evil, villiianous "free marketer" that would crush them otherwise without our shining knight. Did either side ever consider this is all a meer theatrical fiction for mass consumption so we look no deeper at how the corp. class and the government class are in fact silent partners neither who want true free markets, even want real limited gov't of any sort or for protecting the little class from being crushed?
