text: i've noticed a preponderance of neocon whining lately about liberal ideology could it be that the truth hurts?   liberals -vs- conservative only applies to those who are in the position to make decisions. the masses who use this rhetoric are simply building up some false bravado to feel less impotent than they know they are - politically of course.   the focus that people who are not in control, who are being controlled, like us, should first be understanding what power is all about.  the distinctions we should realize are obvious. there is no "liberal" or "conservative" bias in the media, the media responds to those who control things. the media is designed to present an image of the world that represents the wishes and desires of the elite who own the media.   no greater example of this could be found than the way venezuela is being portrayed now. it is a complete hoax, by writers who are on the oppostion parties payroll. this is occuring in the us press because after a failed repression by force, a failed coup, a failed election, a failed referendum on legitimacy of the democratic election, a failed drive to upset the nation to rise against thier chosen leader, the oppostion has gone abroad to drum up international dissent against the democratically elected president of venezuela. is that "conservative" or "liberal" no, it represents power.   the distinction we people should make is - does this policy or political opinion agree with our needs, wants, desires, our concept of freedom and liberty? or is it part of this new takeover by the power-elite who could care less what we think, no matter how much people want tp prop thmeselves up as young republicans or anarchists and all in between.  this mentality has been lost, this is one aspect of unionization, the union hall, where people could talk to people about people's issues, that has been attacked, and drummed completely out of our heads.  as a result, we cannabalize eachother with meaningless distinctions like "libs" or "repuglicans" in doing so we are capitulating to the needs, wants and desires of those who run the show, just as planned.  freedom starts with you, your soul, and your mind... if you can't break free from this psychological warfare then you will lose to it.   best wishes.
