Guantánamo has become the symbol of the NEW AMERICA and and AMERICANS IN GENERAL.
Unfortunately, Liberals think that harping about Guantanamo will convert some of David Brooks' "Poor Repubilcans" back to the Democratic Party and the Progressive Cause.....
IT WON'T.
By complaining about the abuses at Guantanamo DEMOCRATS ONLY SEAL THE BUBBA REPUBLICANS TO THE CONSERVATIVE CAUSE.....because at this point most Americans are operating at an irrational level thanks to 911.
TO MOST AMERICANS, 911 GAVE AMERICA THE RIGHT, INDEED THE DUTY, TO LASH OUT AT THE WORLD IN ANYWAY THAT THE LEADERSHIP SEES FIT......
The problem is that behind the scenes the looting of the economy and the destruction of "the beast" in Washington continues unnoticed and unabated by the US public.....the conservative media have won the hearts and minds of the American Public. And now they are moving in for the re-conquest of Washington using an unholy alliance of wealthy elites, the ignorant religious and the rural poor.
Our decline into Fascism is now all but assured.....THE DEMOCRATS ARE FINISHED. THEY CAN NOT WIN AGAINST THESE DARK FORCES.
But where did it all go so wrong?
Probably when the elites started taking over the media for their own political and economic purposes.....we have known for some time that the poor and the ignorant are likely candidates for right wing propaganda and Fascist ideology....ONLY BEFORE---WE NEVER WENT THAT ROUTE.
Now with Israel decending into a dismal period of militarism and racism those old taboos have been removed....and the seeds of our coming Fascism are finding fertile ground in the American working and lower classes.
Dubya will not pay a price for Guantánamo....it will become his badge of honor to the new Poor Republicans.
