New Majority Agenda.org? Different Direction.org?

I just dont get it at all, said Bill in an exaggerated defeated tone while pushing the peas around on his plate. Whats to get? asked Sue cynically from across the table, People have no one to blame but themselves. Yeah, I get that. What I dont understand is how they can blame it all on Obama? Thats an all American tradition; to sit around, do nothing, and point the finger at someone else. What do you mean? Herbert Hoover was blamed for all the problems of the Great Depression. Facts show that he actually inherited the problems. Just as Obama inherited most of the problems we have now. Sure he helped to create some new ones. Anyone who has a good grasp of economics knows that government policy does little to create growth. Government spending does though. I guess that the rest of the government has nothing to do with it. Yeah, that is amazing. You have the Senate which is composed of forty-seven Republicans and fifty-three Democrats. There is the House of Representatives which is made up of one hundred ninety-three Democrats and two hundred forty-two Republicans plus a sprinkling of independents. The third branch, the Supreme Court is formed by nine justices of who, four were appointed by Democratic Presidents and five who were appointed by Republican Presidents. Lets not forget the individual states, interjected Bill, I think that there are twenty-nine Republican Governors and twenty Democratic Governors plus one Independent. Amazing, on television you see all this smear campaign by Different Direction.org and New Majority Agenda.org which lead you to believe that it was all Obama. Lets see, doesnt Dick Cheneys wife sit on the board of the parent organization of Different Direction.org and isnt Bushs former Labor Secretary, Steven Law, the founder of New Majority Agenda.org which is also funded by big oil? Very good, you did your homework.

But if they are two organizations which are just the same old politicians in sheeps clothing, how in the world do they represent something different? They dont, they just want to get people riled up so that plutocratic puppet Romney will get in so they can continue on their agenda for their plutocratic masters. Actually, to tell the truth, I wouldnt be surprise if this last economic disaster wasnt just orchestrated to help bust unions and bring the costs of labor down as everyone scrabbled to save their own butts; not to mention bringing the prices of stocks down so that the super-rich could pick them up at bargain basement prices. There you go with that divide and conquer theory. But what do you mean orchestrated? Sir John Maynard Keynes had demonstrated that government spending can greatly influence the economy. Think about it, in the late nineties, the Japanese orchestrated a slowdown to stop their economy from burning out. They had massive public works to help it get going again. Why would they do that? It is a strategy to keep their exports competitive, answered Sue as she started to clear the breakfast table with Bill. Suddenly, she sat down and said, I just thought of something! What? asked Bill after turning around from placing the dishes on the counter. Obama announced a plan to sell all of the repossessed homes to investors to keep them off the market to keep the homes for sale on the market at their prices because the sudden influx of homes on the market would drive the prices down. They plan for the investors to use the repossess homes as rental property, explained Sue, I just thought that what if that had been one of the original plans of the plutocracy? I mean, think about it. They rushed to aid all of the banks out who had perpetrated the debacle and it has taken them years to help any of the people who got screwed. Makes it all seem so legal because years had passed removing any statutory requirements, said Bill thoughtfully as he sat across the breakfast nook from Sue, Why do we let them do it? Most people dont pay much attention unless it directly affects them. Most are happy chasing after things and being distracted by flashing shiny things. We are talking about a nation who believes that a Different Direction.org or New Majority Agenda.com are actually new ideas that have their best interests at heart. We are talking about a nation where Mark Sanford disappears for four days, using public funds to have fun with a squeak toy in Argentina. If anyone else had done that, they would have been immediately fired and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Sanford is allowed to finish out his term collecting his pension. Now he is doing a comeback show with special projects. Eliot Spitzer pushes to pass tougher sentencing on

Johns who visit hookers. He himself is caught having numerous rendezvous with high price call girls. He does resign but has no criminal charges pressed against him. He isnt even prosecuted under the laws he pushed to create. However, the madam of the call girl place, Kristin M. Davis, is forced to do four months at Rikers under the laws that Eliot pushed for. He, well, he is free, never paid a fine, never did any time and is still making gobs of money. Wow, talk about an outrage! Isnt anyone paying attention? Hey, according to A Different Direction.com or New Majority Agenda.com Obama is the only problem. Even to a halfwit, who has the slightest understanding of our government knows that five Justices, two hundred forty-two Representatives, forty-seven Senators, and twenty-nine Governors far outweigh one President. Not to mention the three hundred million constituents, added Bill. Exactly, said Sue, The smear campaigns and everything else tell me that Obama may be getting the credit for all the evils of the world. Obama is not a god emperor and Michelle is not a queen. In fact, she isnt even any part of the government at all, yet she has a sizeable staff and large funding. But what does it say about all those other people? Let me see, it means they are either apathetic to whats going on because they are going along with it and allowing it to happen or they are incredibly stupid which in either case they need to be replaced because they are not the people for the job. Or they are all part of it. In order for Obama to get anything through Congress and the Supreme Court, they are making him play ball. I sometimes think that he is trying but to make him play ball for the plutocratic masters, they are being very difficult with him. I think that they are setting him up to be the patsy. He must be working really hard to fight against the wishes of the plutocracy if they are turning on him this bad with these bullshit organizations and their smear campaign which if most people were smarter than a baked potato would realize that it says a lot of bad things about the rest of the people in government and they all need to be replaced. If that was true, why doesnt he just come out and tell the people? And end up like Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, or Kennedy or worse, his family? Good point, said Bill nodding. I always said, what they are doing to this country now is only the tip of the iceberg of what they have been doing to other countries for centuries which has driven young men to fly jets into skyscrapers. Hell, people believe Wal-Mart is a family friendly all American business. It may have been when Sam was alive. Most of their products are made overseas just like the Shark Tank asseholes suggested and Wal-Mart is donating money to organizations which are trying to limited peoples right to vote; even now when people are all a buzz about nations like Egypt,

Iraq, and Afghanistan finally having the freedom to vote. Our soldiers are giving their lives and limbs so these people have a freedom that Wal-Mart and other large businesses are trying to take away. Yet, everyone just keeps shopping there and giving them money so they can fight to take our freedoms away. What will it take for people to get off their asses and take back their country, community, state? I honestly dont know. We used to be a nation that had nothing to fear but fear itself. We used to be a nation where politicians were held accountable for their actions. We used to be a nation by the people and of the people. They have done a wonderful job of divide and conquer. There are independents who arent owned by some large industry. Yeah, but they are unknown and have little money to be heard. I like the one slogan, United we stand, Divided we are intimidated. Im sure eventually they will be heard. Especially when we are all living like they are in Pyongyang. Shut up and kiss me, you fool, said Sue as she reached across the table to Bill.
