[Peace-discuss] Democrat Agenda Omissions

[Morton K. Brussel]

Stephen Lendman is obviously (for those who have been following his  
contributions to ZNet) an extraordinarily prolific critic of our  
national scene. I show only a concluding excerpt from a very long,  
and sometimes difficult to read, all embracing indictment of our  
Congress as well as the administration. The whole thing can be found

The great majority in the country have now endured over three decades  
of ruling governments in Washington failing to address their needs  
and rights, but it only got worse in the neoliberal new world order  
in the 1980s and 1990s that reached an unprecedented level of  
extremism under George Bush's imperial presidency.  In an age of  
neocon rule, it's reckless in its aims, out-of-control in policy, one- 
sided in support of capital, scornful of the rule of law, and  
indifferent to the rights and needs of ordinary people everywhere.

It (is) a system of savage capitalism at its worst, bordering on the  
tipping edge of fascism.  It's based on corporatism, patriotism and  
nationalism backed by iron-fisted militarism and "homeland security"  
enforcers.  It's waging a permanent war on humanity, intolerant of  
dissent and opposition in an age where the law is what the chief  
executive says it is and checks and balances no longer exist because  
the Congress and courts surrendered them in the name of national  
security.
