SJL: "GfS- 14 Aug 13 - 01:41 AM- A brilliant analysis- I would also factor in the role of the media and entertainment industry, along with the politicians, to explain this phenomenon of perception."

Of Course there are nine major news media sources, (teetering on eight), and they are ALL owned by major corporations in bed with our 'so-called Representatives'...well, Representatives representing the corporations in bed with the Representatives representing the corporations...pretending to represent you!

The biggest problem of brain-lock that to 'so-called liberals' have, is they can't see or grasp beyond 'acceptable political correctness'!!..and of course that limits their ability to see beyond Obama, and who he's working for. They just see 'black', and think we've come, oh such a long way. A vote for Obama was a vote for the Rockefeller crowd....but you're too infatuated with color, and too politically correct to see it!
It's a shame.. because they neutered your earliest zeal in protests, to make things right..but that movement got co-opted by the Democrats in the 60's, and you've assumed they were your 'buddies' all along. Nope..they're just the other whore.

GfS

P.S. As I've said before, 'Right wing and left wing are on the same bird'....but your political correctness, that you've signed in for, has you trapped. True Story!
