heartless creeps who take advantage of the stupid and uninformed people. They have laid this groundwork for the past 40 years. I watched all 40 years of it, and it made my skin crawl even then, because I could see what was going to happen.

As it started, the Democratic party was also taken over by the corporate interests, and we seemed to bow to the "success stories". I protested it at the time, and I still hate it. The revolution of the 60's was the swan song of those of us with a true moral compass. That was when the right KNEW that if they took over the media, the churches, and the schools, they would prevail in taking the largest world power back to the dark ages.

They have prevailed.
