Oh wait, I just found an even better quote! This one really moves me.
"The only difference between Bush and Gore is the velocity with which their knees hit the floor when corporations knock at the door."
-- Ralph Nader, 2000 election.
America, with its bloody, tyrannical history, is not and never was a democracy. It is a plutocracy dominated by unsavory, unscrupulous venal whores who bow before one thing only: the dollar sign. From its very inception, the United States has been a genocide-spawning machine. As historin David E. Stannard once wrote:
"The destruction of the Indians of the Americas was, far and away, the most massive act of genocide in the history of the world."
In spite of that fact, the typical, mentally-sleeping American remains only vaguely aware of the horrific holocaust of American Indians. Yet every single locality where Americans make their homes today is consecrated to the cause of cruel, racist inhumanity ? with the blood of Indian people. Every single locality where Americans make their homes today is the scene of the murder, rape, torture and impoverishment of the Indian people who lived there first.
But mainstream Americans would choke on their apple pie if they dared to think about that. Too many Americans would rather stick their heads in the sand about our evil history ? just as they stick their heads in the sand about what is happening today. Why can Germany own up to their evil history but not America? Why do we honour vile murderers like Christopher Columbus with holidays? This would be akin to Germany honouring Hitler's birthday as a memorial celebration.
In the centuries after Christopher Columbus the Butcher, more than 100 million native people fell under the sadistic, racist rule of the invading European-Americans.
I'm digressing but one can only condlude the following about democrats and republicans both, about America's wholly satanic, evil empire:
HISTORY PROVES that America, the self-proclaimed champion of "human rights" and "democracy", has, in reality, worked long and hard to "Make The World Safe" for an inhuman corporate PLUTOCRACY.
HISTORY PROVES that the United States Corporate Mafia Government is the worldwide Enemy of Democracy and of Humanity itself.
American domestic and foreign policy is now, and has always been, dictated fundamentally by economics ? not by moral and political values.
All the talk of "democracy" and "human rights" is just so much spin for popular consumption.
It has never been "We the People," but a ruling plutocracy of ultra-wealthy landowners, slave-owners and corporations that have been the ultimate power behind the U.S. government from the beginning.
If you're intellectually honest, if you've got a social and political conscience ? especially if you have the guts to ACT on it ? you discover real fast that those in America are not living in a "democracy."
