Declaring War On You And Me

Posted by Red Kingman on

When I first saw the title of the following article I thought "My goodness, without even knowing the jist of the story I completely agree with that headline".  That headline was: 

"America Must Declare War On America"

At first glance one might think this is some kind of subversive statement, but in reality it is a rallying cry for America BY Americans.

From truth-out.org William Rivers Pitt writes in an op-ed piece "America must declare war on America, against the fusillade of divisive nonsense that passes for political discourse these days, provided with full corporate sponsorship by a small cabal of rich people via the "mainstream" news media they own from top to bottom. Americans must declare war on America, on the America this fortunate few would create with zeros to the left of the decimal on their secret donation checks, on the America these reavers and traitors seek to make in their own corrupted, bloated image.

I have made this point time and time and time again, but it bears repeating once more: the single greatest strength the far right and their paymasters enjoy is their utter and complete lack of shame. They will say anything - literally anything - to gain an advantage in any debate, and be damned to whoever takes a screwing in the process.
