Politically Corrupt

The culture of political corruption has percolated through to the legislative thought processes it seems. The political thought processes on the conservative end of US politics have steadily been sliding towards the Soviet style previously much reviled by the same people.
Rule by terror to defeat terror seems an idea which could only come out of tortured minds. Arrest without trial, secret prisons, torture and eventual secret ‘military trials’; these are among the raft of accusations against the old Soviets.
Now they are being emulated in the US while the exulted ‘party’ bosses help themselves to the public purse.
If that is not enough, to prove they have truly adopted the Soviet methodology, Republicans now want to build their own ‘Berlin Wall’.
To "create a border security fence from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico," according to Republican House of Representatives members Duncan Hunter of California and Virgil Goode of Virginia.
Rule by fear and paranoia has obviously addled the brains of some in Congress. Gentlemen, the first rule is; ‘Don’t believe your own propaganda!’ Unless of course, the Washington ‘Presidium’ deemed that its congressmen should be treated to the same undiluted BS as the rest of the country.
Next thing Washington’s ‘Cuba’ in the South Seas, Australia will be following suit on this madness. Toady, John Howard can’t seem to get enough of George’s neo-soviet style. With his record of ‘me too’ I expect he will be announcing a ‘dingo fence’ to be erected around Australia’s entire coast line.
Power corrupts and the neo-sovs are showing every sign of total corruption. Tear down the walls, turn your back on the trumped up paranoia and bring back some semblance of Democracy.
