Shut up! ALERT! White House Goes Orange Again

[JackRiddler]

This is so tedious.

"Only terror scare's when approval ratings' slumping."

That's right, the Janet Jackson Breast is no longer distracting anyone from AWOL and the rest, so it's time once again to go Orange! Orange!

7. a re-post, but........... a plausible scenerio?

Will FEAR Work Again? (Bush to speak on WMD/nukes)

HATE, FEAR and IGNORANCE, the real Bush Trifecta, is about to be trotted out yet again.

Having failed at everything he’s touched he has nothing left but to terrify and distract. He’ll be getting plenty of help from the corporate media.

The cable whores will (reluctantly) divert their attention from MichaelMarthaScottPetersonStewertJackson to pander to images of armageddon in your own back yard.

And then something scary will happen.

No, I don’t believe another actual attack. Failing to protect the homeland against WMD or a terrorist event would be fatal to the bushies–unless it facilitated marshall law.

What they need is a domestic success in the “War on Terror” so watch for an attack being prevented by the bushies ‘superior intelligence’ and steely resolve. Manufacturing one would be child’s play.

The people will respond with renewed FEAR (which had been lessened to near apathy by the sequence of ‘chicken little’ alerts, duct tape, and the ridiculous color codes).

Their HATE will be re-focused on the terrorists (which will be loosely defined as anyone who doesn’t do what the US tells them to do) and on those that would impede or question the “War on Terror” (that would be the Dems).

And, with the help of corporate media, IGNORANCE will be assured to the masses who do not or cannot (like working three jobs to survive) seek the Truth.

I hope I’m wrong.

10. Wait......you forgot the fourth (most dominant?) horseman........

GREED!

[nostamj]

11. i never forget about GREED

but, GREED is not being used to manipulate the working class.

it is being celebrated by the monied elite.

it is not part of the TRIFECTA being used against us in marketing acceptance for their GREED

8. I'd like to see a graph plot the changes in the Terra Alert*

with the Bush political "events" and overall popularity.

These alerts are starting to have the opposite affect, and as we all know from childhood fables, that can be quite dangerous.

15. Locking

Rules to start discussion threads in the General Discussion forum.

1. If you start a thread in the General Discussion forum, you must present your opinion in a manner that is not inflammatory, which respects differences in opinion, and which is likely to lead to respectful discussion rather than flaming. Some examples of things which should generally be avoided are: unnecessarily hot rhetoric, nicknames for prominent Democrats or their supporters, broad-brush statements about groups of people, single-sentence "drive-by" thread topics, etc.

2. The subject line of a discussion thread must accurately reflect the actual content of the message.

3. The subject line of a discussion thread may not include profanity or swear words, even if words or letters are replaced by asterisks, dashes, or abbreviations.

4. The subject line and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation.

5. If you post an article or other published content which is from a conservative source or which expresses a traditionally conservative viewpoint, you must state your opinion about the piece and/or the issues it raises.

6. You may not start a new discussion thread in order to continue a current or recent flame war from another thread. The moderators have the authority to lock threads in order to contain flaming on a particular topic to only one thread at a time.

7. Discussion topics that mention any or all of the Democratic presidential primary candidates are not permitted in the General Discussion forum, and instead must be posted in the General Discussion: 2004 Primary forum.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
