It is time to replace Capitalism with Democracy

It sounded good Obama saying we the people are going to stand up for our Democracy but we can not do that until Obama, the Congress, and the Supreme court take it back from the corporations including but not limited to big pharma and the NRA.

We are not a Democracy but what many of us call a corporatocracy. Corporations own this country. Corporations own and run the country. Chief Justice Roberts foolishly gave them that right. If we ever owned the country he effectively gave it to the corporations.

For years because of Bush's fascist agenda many of us said this is not a Democracy. A Democracy only in name to facilitate a hidden agenda. Now we hear from Republicans that this is no longer a Democracy because of Obama and the socialist agenda he inherited from Bush. Anyway you look at it this is not a Democracy!

Is it supposed to be a Democracy just because they make you leave your pen once every couple of years to go out and vote for those with the money to buy their position to force the agenda that keeps those corporations in control that really run this country? Is it Democracy that allows the top 1% to own more than the bottom 95% combined?

Would a Democracy allow their fellow citizens to go without the basic needs of any human being let alone right here in the USA, Food Shelter and clothing? Homes are still being foreclosed at a rate of 1 every 7.5 seconds. This is a Democracy in action? Is the health insurance Industry spending 1.5 million dollars a day to control Congress and kill health care reform so they can keep control over you Democracy in action?

No! It is capitalism run amok, Capitalism is controlling our Democracy. This is not a Democracy. Democracy is a system of government in which either the actual governing is carried out by the people governed or the power to do so is granted by them. There are two principles that any definition of democracy includes, equality and freedom. 

Would not equality dictate that the top 1% take care of those who are in trouble? Or is it because Capitalism rules Democracy that they have the "freedom" to ignore Equality and Democracy? Democracy
Capitalism as a system developed incrementally from the 16th century in Europe. Capitalism typically refers to an economic and social system in which the means of production are privately controlled. Controlling it is is a matter of politics and policy. Capitalism

Politics and Democracy are supposed to be controlling Capitalism. Capitalism is not supposed to be controlling Democracy! Capitalism has run amok and as you know is controlling Democracy. Our Government just bailed out Capitalism and there was nothing Democratic about it. Capitalism owns our Democracy and our Government.We the people have been left to our own demise. It is time to control Capitalism with Democracy so for once we are all equal!

Newtown should mark the end of NRA's reign of terror

                         

                              
                                       

 In Wake of Newtown, It's Time for America to Meet the NRA: Smyth discovered that the NRA nominating committee that plays a key role in deciding who is on the NRA's board is run by Newtown resident Patricia Clark, and also includes George K. Kollitides II, the chief executive of the company that made the AR-15 used in the shooting. Then there is board member and .50-caliber sniper rifle manufacturer Ronnie G. Barrett, who provides further evidence that the NRA's leadership is committed to pushing unrestricted civilian access to weapons that belong on the battlefield.

Guys like Kollitides and Barrett split the money with the NRA and America gets homicidal killers armed to inflict maximum damage. Beyond its financial links to makers of military-style weapons, the NRA's leadership is made up of the worst types of extremists that America's conservative movement has to offer.

 Biden tells mayors: 'We have to act' on gun control :Biden spoke a day after President Obama unveiled the most sweeping gun control plan in decades, including proposals for a renewed assault weapons ban, universal background checks on all gun buyers and restrictions on the capacities of ammunition magazines.

Obama also signed 23 executive orders on Wednesday, including directives for more sharing of federal data for background checks, improving data bases, and government research into the causes of gun violence. His plan also addresses improved school safety and mental health services.

After watching Lapierre fear monger and working feverishly to work into a frenzy the millions of NRA followers most of which are being fooled and mindlessly controlled I realized he is working to create a 2nd revolution with the NRA making all the profits and being at the forefront. 

Don't people see they are being played for fools for profit at the entire countries expense? Did you know that for every gun or box of ammunition sold one dollar is donated to the NRA? First I must admit that I have been a member of the NRA for over forty years but have never plated their game.

The NRA is not there to protect the rights of the gun owner or the person who wants a gun. They are there to protect the NRA and gun manufacturers. Pople are being played for fools, it is a scam like everything seems to be today in this we are living that we call lie today. 

The NRA is here to make money period. They have done a hell of a jof over the past month making people "falsely" believe Obama wanted to excerpt their America, end the 2nd amendment, and steal their guns. I am afraid millions of the fools believe this!

The NRA does not want their cash cow to dry up, therefore every chance they get they gin up the fears of their advocates saying Obama wants to take your weapons. HE DOES NOT! It is for most of them because he is black. Meet all the NRA Leaders Many of them work at or own the companies that make the assault rifles and are screaming war with Liberals!

The NRA screams that Obama wants to kill the 2nd amendment so people will run out and buy the biggest, baddest, most powerful, expensive weapons they can find. It is all about profit! The NRA has served their purpose They have made a hell of a lot on money.

However this lobby arguably the most powerful in our sorry Government Is making a hell of a mess out of this mess we already have. I do not like what I see in our future.
