The conditioning now is to blame the corporations and gloss over the banking system. And to delude ourselves into believing we're currently under a true capitalist setting when it is anything but.
People confuse Capitalism with Democracy when in fact Public companies operate quite like a Communist Country. Those on top reward themselves and leave the scraps for those to fight for underneath.

and this country is no democracy. we've deluded ourselves for a while that it is.

what's that line about voting to make it feel like we have a say? but we're just picking which tyrant...

Technically, it was never meant to be a democracy, but a constitutionally federated republic. But I get your meaning - the "two party system" which was never codified into law but is still the de facto status quo prevents representation on a lot of issues.

And the voting system is virtually destroyed once we don't check identification to actually verify that everyone gets one (and only one) vote.

'A spokesman for the CCC, looking to deflect responsibility for Roof’s murderous rampage, said it was “a big mistake” to say the group’s racist beliefs “inspired” Roof—rather, they “informed” him.'

that's one hell of an exercise in semantics.
that group should not have tax exempt status. hopefully that will be rectified asap.

CCC or KKK, doesn't seem to be a lot of difference. This is another sad little splinter group who promulgates racial hatred...they don't deserve further comment.

Ann Coulter ~ "Blacks commit more than 80 percent of all interracial violent crime."

"The Charleston church shooting is the first case in a very long time in which blacks really were targeted by a white person because of their race (and had the misfortune of being in a gun-free zone). Even Bennett had to reach back to stories her grandmother told her about the Ku Klux Klan (100 percent Democratic) to come up with a previous example of whites terrorizing blacks.

The Charleston attack was a hideous, sickening crime. But that's why we should thank our lucky stars that it was so unusual. White-on-black violence is freakishly rare everywhere in America, except liberal imaginations."
