I've told most of my conservative friends I feel like they've had their entire direction hijacked by some extremists that say they are conservative but have some way whacked out direction. <br /><br />It feels like the almighty dollar is the god to worship. Ideologues run rampant with the right-wing noise machine that focuses on how everyone is an 'entrepreneur' and that we need to look at virtually everything like a business. Even in Michigan we had our new governor talk about how taxpayers are 'customers' and that's how they should be looked at. <br /><br />I dunno about you but it feels like fascism where the government and business are totally in cahoots. Look at Citizens United and tell me it isn't happening. The government has made it legal to be bought and paid for by companies, so we're screwed pretty much. <br /><br />The whole thing happens while the nation sucks on milkshakes and $1 value menu items and watches TMZ and American Idol in a state of passive ignorance and bliss.<br /><br />The people that give a sh*t are called 'radical' and it just won't surprise me when the day comes that someone realizes we've sold out and loved being gluttons in the process.<br /><br />It sucks. I'm patriotic but not a wing-nut or moon bat. I just want to see us have some doggone pride and take corporate interests out of the overriding drive of this country. How about 'We the People' start paying attention again and do a reset on the rules so it stops getting worse and starts getting better?<br /><br />Le sighLacie Babencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16000753929086054544noreply@blogger.com
