Orwellingly Yurz sez:
A couple of days ago, it dawned on me what's going on in the neocon speechifying Senator McSame has been spewing. It's doesn't sound like neocon talk at all. Gosh, John is saying good things about the deeds of FDR;
he's calling out lobbyists (folks like those who run John's campaign) to stop their corrupting ways; he's suddenly gotten cranky with short sellers on Wall Street and says he and Mrs. Plain are not going to leave the hard workers of America twisting the wind. I'd guess if I had just arrived on Planet Earth, I'd have to say, like the historical newspaper publisher, William Allen White of Kansas, John McSame is a Republican populist.
That, of course, is just so much Alaskan moose hockey, moms. What all these words from John and Sarah are...are excuses to maintain the state of denial in the minds of those who can't bring themselves to vote for a man who's skin is darker than theirs. Lots of people with racist tendencies don't really like to admit them to others, as well as themselves.
All this populist neocon newspeak gives these folks 'intellectual' and 'psychological' cover to vote against blacks living in the White house. And, alas, America is the poorer for it.
BEWARE of those who would and do change history. CAUTION! Doublethink is at an all time high.
