I've decided to go rogue, much like Sarah the diva, but in quite the opposite direction. This decision stems from the fact that I spent a piece of yesterday evening watching Sean Hannity's America program on Fixed News. What I perceived from his own rantings and the rants of his interviewees, Michelle Maulkin, Ann Coulter, Kyle Rove and even Lou Holtz, was an America owned by four distinct groups. They are, as follows, and not necessarily in any type of order:
1) The uber wealthy
These people represent about one percent of the American population, but they possess more wealth than the lowest 95% of the population, combined. Their henchmen, who include all conservative groups (Americans for Prosperity, Americans for Freedom etc.) and most lobbying groups. Most legislation favors this group since they have also bought and paid for our congress (state and federal).
2) The Pentagon
This arm of the government secures a huge amount of our annual budget. They are unable to discern between viable weapons and huge misappropriations of taxpayer money. Further, they don't care. Their mission is to keep us bogged down in wars without end with causes that are at best shaky and at worst, long since acknowledged lies and deceptions.
3) Wall Street
This one doesn't need much explaining but I like best the description given by Dylan Ratigan. They are corporate communists, moving without regulation, sucking the breath (and money) from the middle class. They see wealth as a right of passage even though they produce nothing, give nothing, but can never receive enough.
4)The truly disturbed
This includes the tea partiers, Fixed News, the religious right, all bigots, fools and plain morons. Their agenda centers on guns, guns, hate talk, what god supposedly says, guns, "traditional marriage", anti choice and did I mention guns?
