We may be facing the third world oligarchical model not brought on by the "evil corporations" of liberal disdain, but by statist-globalist oligarchs like George Soros, Peter Lewis, and, to an extent, Warren Buffet and many of the Hollyweird crowd. One characteristic of banana republics is that those with the big, big bucks call the shots, and buy the allegiance of the political leaders.

One positively Orwellian aspect of today's political world is the successful brainwashing of the public by the media and the 'Rats into thinking that Republicans and conservatives are "The Party Of The Rich". Nothing could be further from the truth. Look where "the rich" put their money in political support. Who benefited from AIG payouts? A lot of 'Rats. What party do people like Soros and Lewis support? Look at the wealthiest members of Congress, people like the Kennedys and John Kerry. What is their party affiliation? Who is really pulling Obama's strings? I mean, the guy just basically reads from a teleprompter. He's brainless. Who is writing his words? I think we all know.

Conservatives and Republicans have more often than not been the party of the working man, the honest, decent, law-abdiding citizen who works hard, takes care of his family, provides for himself and others out of the goodness of his heart. That we don't have a message that resonates with these kinds of people is to our discredit. And look how is the party of the takers, the moochers, the unproductive, the destroyers, the manipulators. The difference could not be starker.

I don't begrudge people the wealth they earn of their own creative efforts and hard work. People who do that are generally smart enough to know how their wealth was created, and what it will take to maintain. But those who don't, who either have what they have handed to them without knowledge or appreciation of what it took to make, or don't have things and feel they should be given them with no effort of their own or simply take them from those who do have them from their own efforts, are the ones who lead us down the dark path of tyranny.

I agree with much of what you say, but I must point out that it was Pres. Bush who gave AIG most of their money...I don’t think it’s about parties the banking industry owns our government it would seem. Neither party is willing to stand up to them and certain policies which the banking industry lobbied for are very bad for average Americans. I don’t know what the answer is...but something must change.
