Unanimity Is Not Healthy

The bizarre behavior of the Canadian Parliament of a couple weeks ago certainly got some attention.  As bad as saluting an actual Nazi was, there was something even more disturbing: their apparent unanimity.  That should have gotten more attention.

The American Congress is trying to give them competition in the unanimity syndrome.  What is the number for Congress's support of Israel: 95% ? 97% ?  Wasn't there an old quote from some American politician of a few decades ago that went like, "You can't get a 60% majority to support a Mother's Day resolution?"

There is something fishy about Congress's nearly unanimous support of Israel.  Something is broken.  But this is supposed to be an example of 'Freedom and Democracy' that we preach to the rest of the world?

" Common Sense---as well as experience---ought to tell us that when both the Democrat and Republican Establishments, their respective media parrots, and Corporate America are all reading from the same script that whatever they're promoting is very probably nothing good. Unfortunately, common sense and learning from experience are qualities grossly deficient in the Postmodern West." - From a posting by Night Wind

This new war certainly has distracted the Media from Ukraine so I guess that war has been lost by the West and swept down the memory hole. But there probably is more to the story than I can even guess at.

That was a good quote from Night Wind, who I am not familiar with.

They know who's running the show. How many dual-citizens in our government and especially FJB's regime? And if they are not dual-citizens they are married to one or have a "handler" aide. Don't have to guess why all are going along. Unfortunately, nobody will/can do anything about it, it seems. Calling out the parasites and you'll be called - you know.

Freedom & Democracy, what a joke. What country goes and destabilizes a region and then starts a war? Let's give $4B a year for lgbmnopqrst worldwide!! Let's give $4B ayear to Israel every year for defense for this to happen? What a joke, on us! We're a republic why are we spreading democrats all around the world? "These people are sick".
