Very good article. The only part I disagree with is "when Obama makes the case for war". When he ran for president, he said straight out that he would expand the war in Afghanistan and go into Pakistan. None of the swooning "YES WE CAN" true believers gave a flying fuck about it. Now, he's started a war against the Libyan people and he did not bother "making a case for it". CNN did that with Anderson Cooper's nightly propaganda on behalf of the empire. Democrats hated the "war on terror" occupations when they belonged to Shrub and only for that reason. As long as it's the Democratic party doing the slaughter, it's justifiable mass murder (Bill Clinton and the Balkans, for instance). For most of the sheep, Repukes or Demons, party loyalty rules and principals mean nothing.
True dat. When Clinton was murdering hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children through sanctions, Democrats didn't seem to mind either.
In fact, when Madeline Albright was confronted about the deaths of a million Iraqi children because of sanctions, she said it was "worth it".
lets take out ALL the trash including the dems. we need to utterly destroy the dem and reps parties and create a new third party for the people of the people by the people instead of of the corporations by the corporations for the corporations as with the reps or of the oligarchs, by the oligarchs, for the oligarchs with the dems.

According to a 2008 article by David Rothkopf, the world’s 1,100 richest people have almost twice the assets of the poorest 2.5 billion (Rothkopf, 2008). Aside from the obvious problem – that this global elite has their hands in everything from politics to financial institutions – …

To the extent that we, the people, are removed from control over our lands, marketplaces, central banks, and media we are no longer empowered. In practice, those few who do control the land, central bank, media and "free market" are the real rulers of our corrupt and declining "democracy."
Due to propaganda from a corporate-owned and edited media we are kept from knowing, much less debating, the nature of our system. Due to a central bank owned by bankers, media owned by a few global concerns, and trade regime controlled by global corporations (i.e., one designed to remove the people from control over their markets and environments) the vast majority have become little more than latter-day serfs and neo-slaves upon a corporate latifundia.
To restore a semblance of effective democracy and true freedom Americans, and people around the world, need to re-educate themselves as to the true nature of their political and economic systems. Toward this end, OligarchyUSA.com is dedicated to providing old and new information, books, links, reform ideas and debates not easily found or accessed today in establishment media.
OligarchyUSA.com is but one more site and sign of the times as ground-up counter-revolutions arise around the world... all in response to a forced and freedomless globalization of a ruling global elite perfecting their top-down plutocracy and revolutions of the rich against the poor. In short, democracy is no longer effective today. For this reason, it is toward a restoration of truly effective and representative democracies, and natural freedom, that this site is dedicated.

Charlie Rangel, D rep from NY, was also shouted down. Feel better now?
The Dems are more dangerous than the Reps. The Dems wont tell you what they will really do once elected.I dont agree with most Reps, but at least they are a LITTLE more direct in thier approach.
nope, the reps are 10 times more dangerous than the dems. they are liars and con artists and are patently for the elite against the rest of us.
Both parties represent the elite. For a breakdown of who is most in the pockets of Wall Street, see the following: http://influenceexplorer.com/industry/securities-investment/0af3f418f426497e8bbf916bfc074ebc?cycle=-1
"As a witness to the protest in lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti park, this columnist did not see one sign or hear any general assembly statements denouncing the Democratic Party. It is easy to shout down Geraldo Rivera and Fox news, ... low hanging fruit for any intelligent person."
