Hmmm, where have we heard this before...


"The president needs to be stripped of these imperial and unconstitutional powers!"

"The government needs more transparency!"

"We need to protect our American manufacturing jobs!"

"We need to get these special interests out of congress!"

"Our infrastructure needs to be rebuilt and revitalized!"

"Whatever happened to public works?!"

"Whatever happened to the 'big tent' philosophy?!"

"Why are we fighting these repugnant 'wars' that have no goal or end?"



Where have these views been given voice before?

THE WHIG PARTY! That's where!


And with the ever growing threat of the fascistic and grossly immoral neoconservative movement, we need to counter.

However, before we go into exactly why the neocons are both wrong and evil, let's take a look at the issues shall we?


On Healthcare:

- The Democrats want to make health insurance less expensive by moving around some taxes.
- The Republicans want to make health insurance less expensive by moving around different taxes.

On Taxes:

- The Democrats want to give tax breaks to the middle class.
- The Republicans want to give tax breaks to the middle class.

On Energy:

- The Democrats believe in magical solutions like "biofuels."
- The Republicans believe in magical solutions like "clean coal."

On the Economy:

- The Democrats pay lip service to fair markets.
- The Republicans pay lip service to free markets.

On Government Spending:

- The Democrats increase taxes so they can spend more.
- The Republicans increase the deficit so they can spend more.

On International Interventions:

- The Democrats spend billions on foreign aid.
- The Republicans spend billions on foreign wars.

On Social Issues:

- The Democrats like to heavily regulate movies, video games, the internet and other scapegoats.
- The Republicans like to heavily regulate sex, drugs, the internet and other scapegoats.

On Civil Liberties:

- The Democrats passed the PATRIOT Act.
- The Republicans passed the PATRIOT Act.

Vast canyons of difference separate these two parties, don't they now? Well, no, of course not. They have the same ideology, only different targets; and they answer not to the people, but to corrupt corporate masters.

Now lets bring in the neocons, the self-proclaimed saviors of American conservatism... What do they believe in? Well you can't listen to them, they won't tell you the truth! Here's some definitions for you from the neocon wordlist, in case the neocon meaning confuses you:

FREEDOM: Trade with America

DEMOCRACY: Trade with America

LIBERALS: Communist strawmen

INTERROGATION: Torture

UNAMERICAN: Not Neocon (see LIBERALS)

WEALTH: Corporate wealth

POVERTY: (No entry)

CORRUPTION: Independence from the American sphere of influence

TERRORISM: Unsanctioned terrorism

FREEDOM FIGHTERS: Neocon-approved terrorists (see PINOCHET)

THE PRESIDENT: Our Majesty

We've witnessed this kind of maniacal distortion of American ideals before, with Andrew Jackson.

Only, instead of the war in Iraq, it was land grabs in Texas and Mexico.
Instead of Hurricaine Katrina, it was the Trail of Tears.

And we're sick of it! Get businesses out of government and government out of businesses. Get our lost jobs back! Get rid of these ridiculous "executive orders."

And get rid of the two party system!!
