Both pampered islamic monarchies and ruthless secular dictators have used the Palestinian -Israeli Issue to divert the eye of dissent from their own retrenched and retrogressive authoritarian policies. As long as the disaffected youth can be kept occupied by fire-breathing clerics, the ruling elite can continue to maintain their lavish lifestyles and cozy economic relationships with the Western infidel. States require a boogie man to counter their own self-destructive policies. Our boogie man is Islamic Terrorism or , when things are slow, a Latin American Strongman will suffice. If things continue to go as well as they have been, we'll be able to reinstate the Russian Bear as part of the Boogie Man line-up and then the Military-Industrial Honeypot will be set on autopilot and we shall reach State Valhalla. If anyone actually thought the Ron Paul Candidacy had a shot at really taking off more than it surprisingly and admirably did, you might want to review your sources quantifying what constitutes a Republic. It has been Bread and Circus Time for Decades in America. The people clamor to be led like children and told sweet bedtime stories or lusty battlefield parables. Independence and liberty are important only insofar as one can drive one's car to a shopping center of one's choice and charge a purchase on a separate but equal Credit or Debt Card. The charade is so complete that two terms of an illiterate rube at the head of the Executive are not enough to alarm the public beyond disaffected amusement. Congress remains useful only insomuch as providing an institutional outlet for expressing our well deserved antipathy to government on the one hand while greasing the wheels on the other. Any of a dozen branches of the Executive's Cockeyed Bureaucracy are larger than the entire Federal Government as envisioned by the Framers and someone actually thinks a person championing the Constitution can get elected President? Come now, the least we can do is refrain from acting giddy in the presence of the dead. The usurpers stole the Republic by stealth and it will only be returned to us by stealth or fight and it is a fair bet that the will to achieve this is well beyond reach. The people cannot be motivated by telling them they lost something when they still insist they have it. Sent at: 2008 05 16
