That's trivial: Hedges' critique is that the "liberals" have sold out, so the obvious solution is to stop selling out, and deliver their promises instead. --- Arthur wrote: > The person who notices that the house is on fire may not be the person who > can put out the fire. Not necessary -- it is sufficient to notice / make a call, then everyone knows what needs to be done -- by those who "can" (sic!). --- REH wrote: > What is not said in all of this is that the problem is not simple failure > to live up to the morality. Is it just a failure or deLIBERAte fraud? Of course they can't admit deliberate fraud, so they have to make it look like failure (as if that would qualify them to remain in charge!). > But instead is a problem with the whole duality version of Democracy in > left and right wing thought. Actually, the problem is that both tweedledum and tweedledee (Obama and Palin) are just puppets to the same zionists who are screwing the people (and pitting them against each other) with this silly "good cop / bad cop" fraud. A real alternative, which would further the interests of the people, is simply not available to the voters (present in the media etc.), that's the trick. But of course, Hedges as a NYT hack just throws fog about this.
