The blueprint for the creation of a 'global Pax Americana' was drawn up for Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and others in September 2000 by the neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Shrewd and calculating, their hearts are filled with lust for power and consumed by greed for money. Rich and aristocratic, they despise Christians and they loathe the lowly working class. They control the world's press and virtually all our banks and financial institutions. They screen and choose who America's leaders will be and even determine who will run on the Democratic and Republican Party tickets. It was shortly after attending the 1991 Bilderberger meeting, Governor Bill Clinton was selected to be the next President of the United States. Bill Clinton and White House advisor Vernon Jordan's relationship goes back to it's Bilderberger connections. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Among the elitist membership or attendees at Bilderberg meetings is David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Lloyd Bentsen, Helmut Kohl, Prince Charles, Prince Juan Carlos, Katharine Graham, Alice Rivlin, Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Dan Quayle, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin L.

Wright is a danger to our society.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Bush Administration is well known to be an administration short on intelligence, history and memory. You know - morons.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What the Republican Party will not tell you is that their party is the party who is dangerous. They step in line with Bush and Cheney without raising so much as an eyebrow. They are lying yet again and using Rev. Wright to smear Barack Obama, because they fear Obama will be our next president. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One of the requisites for being president these days is to see how you can best throw someone under the bus publicly. Please remember most of these pundits are not journalists, though some are. If they were, they would have done their homework weeks ago and realized who Rev. Wright really is. &amp;nbsp;But they didnt investigate and now it has come to this.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for the pundits who are not journalists? Well, they are just people with their own selective point of view. &amp;nbsp;A very old-fashioned, one-sided point of view. Most often, quite ignorant. Their message about uncomfortable subjects?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dont talk about it. The country doesnt like it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So what is the result of this? &amp;nbsp;McCain or once again, another Clinton.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Is this the best our country can do after what weve been through?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please remember, it is not only Rev. Wright and Barack Obama who were exploited. We have all been exploited - democrats, republicans, independents - by the mainstream media.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For example, take Mike Huckabee. I dont know if this is true, but I read an article which stated that Gov. Huckabee nurtured a relationship with America's largest white supremacist group, the Council of Conservative Citizens back before he became famous. Did the pundits investigate him? Evidently. Hes always offering his thoughts all over cable. And if this story is true, do you honestly believe Huckabee is a threat to our country in any way? Neither was Rev. Wright. As a matter of fact, of the two, I prefer Rev. Wright.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sean Hannity, Bill OReilly, Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchanan, David Gregory, Chris Matthews - I can no longer tell one from the other. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This was never about tearing Rev. Wright down. It was about tearing Senator Barack Obama down.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And there is not one person in this country who is taking a stand against this BS.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;P.S. to Joe Scarborough, &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;81% of the people believe this country is headed in the wrong direction. And you know what? We have your party to thank for this mess were in. You still dont get it do you? We are not as stupid as you think we are.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Barack Obaman 2008.</description></item><item><title>Angry Floridians</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/30/963364.aspx#963579</link><pubDate>Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:36:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:963579</guid><dc:creator>Tom, ID</dc:creator><description>First they want break the rules, now DEMAND to be counted.
