These political hacks lack creativity and are simply implementing the US template for control.
Just keep an eye out for it - once you see it you can never unsee it.
The attacks are relentless and rarely based in fact.
They rely solely on emotion and a naive readership

Anyway I could literally spend all day.
While racism is a problem that needs to be addressed - what theme do you see unfolding in this thread?

17/ If you are part of a small elite group that wants to maintain control over billions of people how do you achieve this?

18/ Fighting for your charter rights is NOT fascist, it& #39;s not selfish, it& #39;s not racist.
It& #39;s a REQUIREMENT for passing our freedoms down to our children.
This holds true if you are black, white, brown, muslim, christian, jewish or atheist.
