you think you know what's up
but you don't have a glimmer
did you believe you could vote them out,
or that they would simply go away?
you are harboring preposterous delusions,
and ignoring ten lifetimes of experience.
unplug the tv, it has emulsified
your power of reason, and
replaced it with credulity and blather.
there's nothing to be ashamed of,
it was never your fault,
no expense has been spared
in the creation of your ignorance
if anything, you should be commended
for your steadfast loyalty
to those who have sold you out,
it speaks highly of your christian values
and your protestant work ethic

my litmus test for the politics of da da
"Is Iran a threat to the United States?"

John Obama
And Barak McCain
give the same answer.

I will vote for Obama
But even so
Onward Christian soldiers marching as to war.

i agree. they make the same tough guy hawk squawk. no integrity the national political scene - pac groups took care of that a generation ago. people like frank church, fulbright, morse - even they were part of the system, but they would buck the party line if the situation merited it - at least regarding the nam war. after the war, the right wing took the offensive , learned from its mistakes, and developed a strategy to smear and dismantle the liberal left.
