I am not in total disagreement with you, or Catz, or Obama for that matter. My questioning of it is purely in who controls the method of discerning the information. We must take into account that this Progressive lurch to the left in today's politic was instituted decades ago by the very same "hippy" class of far leftists that realized that violence was not the way, then proceeded to take over the education system. Take a look, Ayers sits on the board that decides ciriculum [sic] for the nations high schools for God's sake!

I don't think anyone "controls" it. We have to learn to interact with it in an educated and intelligent manner. We have to take the responsibility to research our options, to understand the system being discussed, to servo it ourselves through our votes and through our pressure on the system and through our insistence that it obey our rights and liberties. A free Republic won't keep itself up, it takes continual work to keep it running. Continual input, continual control. By allowing ourselves to be swept away by the misinformation, to buy into the spin and partisan hackery, we work against the goal of preserving the Republic.
