"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Confessions of a Former Tea Party Guy
"What... happened to the anti war left? Obama got elected and you just f*cking disappeared... The killing goes on and on and on, but let's don't talk about it, let's remain FOCUSED on us versus those stupid ass redneck Tea Party guys. I'm so goddamn disappointed I have tears in my eyes writing this, you miserable, short-sighted accomplices."

And what was he expecting? It's called "Democratic" underground for a reason, no? This site is a unofficial adjunct to the DP just as much as Free Republic or NRO are to the GOP. I can understand just about any mistake someone makes but I really don't feel much for the "strangers promised me candy" kind though. This guy feels like a sucker because he got suckered. Maybe he'll learn from it.
Well, most people were suckered in exactly the same way. Congrats on seeing through it from the beginning.
There is no harm in posting a rant like this. At least some people there will start thinking and questioning because of it.
Almost the most basic lie the state depends on, is the right vs left paradigm. Or "divide and conquer", or whatever else you want to call it. About the only way for people to see through it is to be slapped with this sort of post.
