13. Politicians at all levels of government are bought and sold by wealthy individuals and businesses, through campaign contributions necessary to get elected in our current system; politicians refuse to act to regulate or tax them
14. Voter suppression in many states through scare tactics, identification requirements, despite the lack of any evidence of voter fraud; electronic voting without verification mechanisms; fraudulent presidential election in 2000.
11. Teachers in general, universities, colleges, scientific research, and academic activities are publicly attacked by politicians; funding for arts programs at the national level and in public schools sharply cut
12. Highest incarceration rate of all countries in the world, including the Soviet Union in its heyday of political repression; mandatory minimum sentencing laws
9. Banksters steal the public blind, then get bailouts totaling $31 trillion from the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury; anti-trust laws gutted and consolidation occurs in virtually every single industry at all levels; unlimited corporate political contributions to candidates buy their elections and support in office
10. Lowest labor union participation rate among the top 30 industrial nations
6. Dick Cheney/W's media campaign leading to Iraq invasion, the "weapons of mass destruction", with no media challenge; corporate media's timidity toward challenging government on substantive issues
7. Intl./domestic war on terror: illegal wiretapping, invasion of privacy, increased surveillance, endless war
8. Republican presidential candidates to establish Christian equivalent of sharia law in the U.S.; Gingrich wants a commission to review separation of church and state
"Communism" as originally conceived, as many things in history, was not all bad ideas. But corrupted by those in power, as it has always been done, took away what possible good there was. Fascism never had a bit of a POSSIBLE good side....and between the years of 2001 and 2006, the United States was teetering in that direction. Luckily, sanity finally took hold in 2006.
@913lalilulelo 90 million some odd deaths. commited by many dictators world widedose'nt mean any thing to you? ask some cambodian's refugees how nice the think communism is.btw im not making a case for caplitsim or fascism im just giving facts

Here's my take on the 14 points, divided into a couple of posts:
1. U.S. is the most powerful country on earth! Hurray!
2. Habeus corpus revoked, indefinite detention now legal.
3. Islam, the Axis of Evil, those lazy poor people
4. Military funding above all else; rare accountability for war crimes, and then only among low-ranking soldiers
5. Ongoing lack of equal pay between men and women. Domination of corporate and political leadership by men.
