Usually, in any conflict, truth is the first casualty, the first to die, the last to be salvaged from the rubble of the conflict, and never to be buried because it is dragged about like a crude and barbaric trophy like the head of a dead king carried on a pike for all to see.

Sen. Whitehouse: foes of health care bill are birthers, right-wing militias, aryan groups
www.youtube.com...
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) today took shots at those who are not supporting the health care legislation. During a floor speech, he excoriated Senate GOP members for holding up the pending health care bill and accused their supporters of being birthers and fanatics in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups. He started off by citing an editorial from the Manchester Journal Inquirer, which used the insult "lunatic fringe.":
“Let's Look At What Current Observers Are Saying As A Possible Early Indicator Of The Judgment History Will Inflict. Recently, The Editor Of The Manchester Journal Inquirer Editorial Page Wrote Of The Current G.O.P. Which He Called ‘This Once Great And Now Mostly Shameful Party,’ That ‘It Has Gone Crazy, Is More And More Dominated By The Lunatic Fringe And Has Poisoned Itself With Hate.’ He Concluded, ‘They No Longer Want To Govern. They Want To Emote.’ A Well Regarded Philadelphia Columnist Recently Wrote Of The Conservative Paranoia And Lunacy On The Republican Right.”

But fine, I guess you can turn anything into politics, if that's your thing.
To all of you saying Avatar is communist propaganda, don't watch it. Don't give your money to that communist Cameron. But then don't talk about the message of the movie either. I never read "War and Peace", and therefore I never find myself philosophising about Tolstoy's message and art.

The difference is the statements made by James Cameron on the interview, and him agreeing with the Liberal journalist.
Why do people keep posting comments without reading the excerpts, and watching the video?...

You are right my friend. However, for the most part it is not their fault, but just wait and see when these people start losing their priviledges such as they won't be able to play WOW, or LOTRO, and other online games anymore because they will be shut down "for the good of all, and the good of the environment"...
Just wait for people to start losing their right to buy beer, and other commodities in the supermarket "because beer is not really necessary to live"....
Many of them don't see it yet, but true Socialism/Communism takes away the right of people to choose, and it takes away most of the priviledges that most, if not all left-wing advocates love. BTW, i also love LOTRO.
The Socialist/Globalists are trying to find ways to shut down the internet, because it can become a weapon against them, and after all, keeping the internet going takes a lot of resources, and energy..... What do people think will happen once the "Socialist/Globalist" plan to shut down the internet "for the good of all, and the good of the environment"?....
There are too many Liberals, and in general left-wing advocates who really have no idea what the main goal of Socialism/Communism really is...

The American left does not advocate the leftism you fear, you guys have projected that and created a self affirming loop. At the heart of your everyday liberal, is an attempt at awareness, the responsible use of freedom and the power of this nation. Another adage is just just because you can does not mean you do. With out the left you WOULD have your freedom dictated by the private sector, at the ground level we tend to think that company is not entitled to create all the laws
of this nation. Without government, the power vacuum will be filled by big money, creating self serving laws, more so than now, corporate carte blanche.

Not really for a long time the left has been taking over, and obviously you haven't been paying attention, as for my youth, I am old enough, and experienced enough to see what is happening in the world.
Perhaps you haven't noticed it yet, it could be your youth, or just your inability to accept the obvious...
There has been an indoctrination to change this Republic for the sole purpose of giving MORE power to the government...
Of course there is a need for SOME government, and SOME laws. But the government, and the laws have been expanding too much.
All of this indoctrination into accepting left-wing ideology is leading the world into this One World Government, and ONe World economy that so many people, including Presidents of the U.S. and representatives of other countries have been talking about.
Sorry to say to those with the idealism that everyone will abandon their own views, and their own idealism for that of a few that a One world Government will only become a DICTATORSHIP for the mayority of the people in this world.
Even looking at the leftist/Socialist laws which have been passed by the Obama administration, and some which were even done by the Bush administration and some others, we can see that the final result will be a One World Socialist dictatorship.
Once again, it seems that people like you seem to forget the United States is a Republic, and the forefathers made it clear themselves....

We, in the United States, and other countries in the world are losing our identity, and our sovereignty because of the Socialist goal of the elites to consolidate ALL power to them, and FORCE all nations to give up their sovereignty, and their identity.
The elite globalists have been working to this goal through decades of indoctrination, and infiltrating countries such as the U.S.
Now we are facing the dissolution of the Republic, and we know that President Obama wants to give control of the U.S. to the UN, and the power elite.
We have threads in these same forums about the Obama administration giving even power to the Interpol over all U.S. citizens.
The Obama administration gave all power over education, as well as voluntary and MANDATORY Community Service to something they call the Corporation.
This Corporation has the power to also implement a citizen electronic verification system, similar to the verichips threads and discussions we have had inthe forums for years.
They have been talking about FORCED vaccinations, MANDATORY Community Service, and MANDATORY Military service.
All of this is been accepted by a large percentage of the population, and it seems including you unless I am wrong.
We have even seen the responses of some of our Liberal American members who claim "FORCED" Community Service, and FORCED vaccinations aong other things is a good thing, because it is "for the good of all"....
That's the sot of indoctrination which the left-wing ideology has been leading us up to.
Like the Communist manifesto, to some people it "looks a good idea, and the perfect utopia", but in reality it will never be a perfect utopia because in essence you are giving up your individual right to choose for yourself "for the good of all". In essence turning people into mere robots, and not spiritual beings who each one of us has a free will.

What you fail to recognize is that the goal of the elites is being executed by capitalism, is it not the hoarding and consolidation of capital that which makes the elite, elite?
IF they goal was a "socialist utopia" why would the weapon of choice be capital and the American right to profit be it hell or high water?

Was the goal not to consolidate more CAPITAL?
You equate the system with the individual parts in the system, they are not the same.
