THEY CAN NEITHER ASK A QUESTION OR PROVIDE AN ANSWER WITHOUT BASHING PRESIDENT BUSH. IT'S JUST THE NATURE OF THE BEAST.

Weigh the fact that the public education system provides a white-washed version of history, leaving many Americans with limited awareness of the imperialism, cruelty, genocide, and state terrorism perpetrated by our government for many years. This same educational system emphasizes rote learning over the development of critical thought. The abhorrent No Child Left Behind Act virtually forces teachers to abandon nurturing their students' analytical capacities as they drill them in preparation to do well on tests (for fear of the punitive measures imposed on schools whose students do not perform well). Automaton thinkers serve the American Empire quite well, and those skeptics who occasionally slip through are quickly discredited as "anti-American liberals", "Communists", or more recently, as "supporters of terrorists".
With the advent of the Internet, Americans have unprecedented access to information and a powerful means to network and communicate quickly. This has severely under-mined the "soft tyranny" the US government has historically employed to manipulate its citizenry. Witness the plummeting approval ratings of Bush II and the regime's pathetic attempt to bolster support for the illegal occupation via the recent staged satellite teleconference between Bush and the service people in Iraq . Given the fact that a substantial number of Americans are awakening from their slumber and seeing the sobering truth, the abstract attack on our fundamental Constitutional rights is poised to become quite concrete. Once their "soft" mechanisms of control cease to function, those in power will employ cruelty, tyranny, and brutality (which have been staples of US foreign policy for years) on their own people. Martial law, torture, an end to legal privacy, and imprisonment of "dissidents" without due process are quite likely to become stark realities for US citizens. Orwell may have been off by several years, but Big Brother is gathering momentum for his ascension to power.

And the right is any better? Questions bashing the left are just as useless and a waste of bandwidth as those bashing the right. This isn't politics. It's stupidity.

No, but, you can look at YA! contributers on the far left politically for uneducated propaganda based on deception and lies.
Wait:
Maybe you consider that elevating the dialog. I never considered believing in and spreading propaganda as elevating the dialog, but, you are welcome to your opinion.
I always considered research and education raising the dialog.
I guess we have determined another difference between moderates and leftists in politics.
Moderates believe in education and leftists believe in propaganda.

The left has elevated the dialog but you righties haven't noticed because you are still wallowing in the mud.

Hehe... No, not from most of them.... tho there are at least one or two that are at least civil and can form a coherent argument without slandering a dozen people and the President in the process...

It is not possible to establish dialogue with hatchlings. Hatchlings are of one mind.
It does not matter which end of the political spectrum the hatchling claims, they were all laid in one basket.
