		<description><![CDATA[Rachel, Do you have an email list that you can access to get this fun, inspiring video about Hillary out?

If so, why not ask them to  help this video find its way to all the girls (and boys)  and women (and men)in Texas,
Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, Pennsylvania and then some!

		<description><![CDATA[To our Canadian neighbors
hihihi BO doesn&#039;t know Canada is headed by a prime minister.
Maybe the media should not embarrass him by asking more difficult questions like who is the head of the EU council. 
Oops! Let me get back to you on that. I&#039;ll google it.
Now let&#039;s do lunch. this is mighty hard work! Being a president
Oprah! Can you check who is available for lunch on my list of Elites.
Yes, right away! Bam Bam!
Oh! you tickle me so fine!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On SUNDAY??
OH No She Didn&#039;t.??

SHAME ON YOU HOLLARY !!!
For Todays (SUNDAY) Sacrelege, blasphemy, and Atheism..
Mocking the Christian belief in Salvation.
Poking fun and Sarcasm at Believing that Heaven can Open up the sky to those who believe. Laughing at the notion that there are Celestial Angelic Choirs in the Heavens, Hurling sarcasm at those who would believe they can hear. Laughing at Hope.. Laughing at GOD..!!!
Hillary..Can you say Moses?
Did he not part the Red Sea and free his people from the Pharoh?
Who are you Hillary Rodham to tell us all not to believe that all things are possible through our Lord Our God? 
It is dillusional to Hope The Lord God would ever extend his ever redeeming, ever forgiving ever everlasting Love to Our Nation? To America and her United States Citizens??
Its dillusional On SUNDAY to think this could be possible ??  2/24/08  
One thing is certain..It won&#039;t be possible under your leadership. You are a non-believer.
I suppose that deceased Dallas Police Officers family should abandon any HOPE for his Salvation.  His life was lost performing a difficult and demanding job too. There aint NO GOD coming for him either.  Right Hillary?? 
May God have mercy on your immortal soul Hillary Rodham.
SHAME ON YOU HILLARY RODHAM
                                 The Lord works in mysterious ways....
And today God exposed your true dark soul to the world.  And In so doing, the Nation and the World will be better served.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama Propaganda

Barack Obama is using the same tactics that Hiltler used. 
1) Bitterness against the current events of the past 7 years 
2) Change propaganda 
3) Programmed, promising every supporter something
 4) Attacks opponents, twisting the race factor to make the others look like they used it.
 5) Personal qualities, his self belief that leads people to believe in what he says
 6) Support by elite class in business, media and government.
The current democratic society propaganda is more sophisticated and more elaborate due to it’s invisibility and not easily identifiable. It does not need a coordinator because it is self sustaining system. The reality of the media is that it is not accessible to everyone. It is controlled by government and the principal corporations. Why, because they have the money, authority, and power.  Hegemonic ideology tries to legitimate the current society by its institutions and model of life. It is easier to change the minds of people when they think they have made the decision themselves. Quoting Gramsci, mass media does not define a new reality but rather allow those in power of society to represent themselves. The media reflects the power of the elites.
The mass media has been compared to the influence that the role of the Church had in the Middle Ages. The media picks and chooses what they want the masses to see, leaving out that they don’t want known. The mass media sets the viewpoint by emphasizing the importance of or lack of importance of issues. This sets the agenda of what people talk about.
Herman and Chomsky have said before raw news becomes news it must pass through a series of five filters; 1. Size, concentrated ownership, owner wealth, profit orientation of dominate mass media firms; 2. Primary source of income for mass media is advertising; 3. Reliance of government, business, experts funded and approved by them to give mass media the approved information; 5. Anti-communism as a national religion and control mechanism.
The power of the U.S. propaganda system lies in its ability to mobilize an elite consensus, to give the appearance of democratic consent, and to create enough confusion, misunderstanding, and apathy in the general population to allow elite programs to go forward (Herman, 1996). 
An independent mind must seek to separate itself from official doctrine, and from the criticism advanced by its alleged opponents; not just from the assertion of propaganda system, but from its tacit presuppositions as well, expressed by critic and defender. (Chomsky, 1982)
The aim of a new propaganda is to convince people to love their “slavery”, confusing it with freedom (Huxley, 1958). In this context it is difficult to open the eyes of people, because they have learned to love this way of life.]]></description>
