True democracy remains elusive to Americans [UPDATED]
Published 9:39am Friday, February 15, 2013 Updated 11:41am Friday, February 15, 2013This American government is constantly talking about spreading democracy. How can you spread something abroad that barley exists at home?
Did you, as American citizens think you were living in a democracy?
President Eisenhower warned the American people to beware the military/industrial complex.
As long as we allow the ultra wealthy to lobby (bribe) our corrupt politicians there can be no true democracy.
Lee Hamness
Underwood
Is he for real, or is he just messing with us?
Lee Hamness is for real.
In one Journal letter titled “W. and Company helps man protect himself”, Lee makes light of having a background check to purchase his own gun. Lee attributes this to Pres. Bush being paranoid of a “boogieman” (even though the original Brady legislation was approved by Pres. Clinton).
In another letter titled “The why is the most haunting question”, Lee makes light of Nancy Lanza’s gun purchases, “She, it seems, was intent on protection against some unknown boogeyman. Turns out the boogeyman lived in her house.”
Apparently the “boogieman” is imaginary, but a “boogeyman” may be nearby.
