Subject: RE: BS: Nationalized Healthcare, good? bad?
The call for going back to "founding fathers" as you saw in the video of the young woman I posted earlier in the thread, is what Tim Wise describes so well. The talk radio shows hammer away at people who are not all that well informed about history or the constitution, but basically condition their listeners to think that there is some ideal, superior white past in the country that must be "returned to". It means going back to segregation, which they will not come right out and say, but instead use coded language that implies the same thing (and of course we had slavery at the time of the founding fathers).
