The Awful Truth about American Politics


Over at OpEd News is a righteous rant by Stephen Pizzella which is worthy of wider distribution.
Here's a snippet:

In the process it has become what would be considered in any other Western democracy an oxymoronic joke: a Left without a defining class consciousness.

  2. Sometimes what we call "the government" is really the corruption that power brings to the table.

    The "shadow government" is sometimes really just the lack of government which has been replaced with corruption.

    Like gangrene replaces living flesh.
