Last night I had a healthy debate about this issue with some customers and a few employees after hours at my establishment. We concluded as a group that this Supreme Court ruling was in fact a turning point toward serious fascism. Left unchecked, the corporations will complete the strangle-hold on American politics they have so long sought after. Looking back on the appointments of the Justices and you will see the trend of ideology over interpretation of the law.

Even the politicians are scared. Incumbencies can be destroyed overnight. Although that can be a good thing, it all depends on who wields the power over the media. And we all know that's not the people anymore. Question the motives of the power elite.

I think this is one of the last moves on the chessboard of the American political system setting up the checkmate against the people.

At the end of our debate, I reminded the group that we have been so distracted by the media that we couldn't see two feet in front of our faces. Encumbered by over-taxation/inflation, we are on the treadmill unable to see where we are going. And without the will or time to do anything about it.

We won't even rally against these ridiculous wars! The impotence of the American citizen is plain for all to see. It is way past time to decide if we will sink or swim. Unless...

Even if they just run adverts and stick billboards up, it still has a huge effect on people's perceptions on the targets of those ads. I forgot who said this or where I heard it, but it still rings true, "If you say or hear something untrue enough times, it eventually becomes a fact/ or true in the minds of the listeners." Look at the way we (the people) were told that Iraq had WMDs or that Obama was a vote for change, I got suckered into believing both, but then I came to ATS and had my eyes opened. We need to set caps on allowed campaign funds, or have the govt. give each candidate $5 million towards their candidacy and they can do their best with the allotted funds. Just wait till the American Mustache Association uses it's vast resources to get the Hitler Mustache candidate elected, thereby forcing every man, woman, and child to have a Hitler stache. It's a sad day indeed!

Let us consider the genius of this move. Promoting the right-wing pro-business agenda (the 5 justices were all Republican appointees) during a (supposedly) left-wing administration.

This is strategically brilliant. This same result could have been reached in 2008, but the players behind the scenes decided to let it wait and further undermine an already impotent Left leaning presidency.

While I know that Repubs and Dems are all serving the same masters, I can't help but admit that the extent of the awareness is contigent on their level of access in a system somewhat akin to the Degrees of the Masons.

While TPTB like having the two party system as a sideshow distraction, they really do tend to prefer having right-wingers in power. It makes it easier to further consolodate wealth and blow-up oppositional players in the World Game.

With this ruling it is clear that the right wing puppets have been playing rope a dope with the left wing puppets.

The flipping of Kennedy's seat kills any meaningful reform of health insurance access, making the Dems look ineffectual.

This ruling makes the Dems look like they are in the pocket of big business.

The ruling will also allow corporations to flood stupid money into mid-term elections which are notorious for being won on name recognition rather than real issues.

A new rout of the Dems this fall leads to a completely hostile Congress which blocks all Obama attempts at relevance. 2012 sweeps in more Republicans who continue sticking it to working Americans (all the while convincing them that they will become rich playing a rigged game) while feeding billions of dollars to their corporate masters.

thanks for the sane response to my post. I guess it is yours and my time to have a heart to heart talk with our electable representatives within Congress, or the tree and ropes will be prepared.

Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!!! you got it right there, my friend, people still doesn't get it, we the people lost our nation a while back while getting big and fat on the good life while becoming nothing but consumer junkies and losing our life savings with unrestricted credit and loans.
