Is the United States a nation of psychological androids?

Have we allowed ourselves to become psychological androids -- putty and/or expendable cannon fodder -- in the hands of the corporate/military elite of this nation and its subservient corporate-stream media?

Many of the people of this nation were insidiously lulled into a slumber -- a slumber from which some are now beginning to awaken. The android-like psychological state of so many is beginning to be replaced by the pain of betrayal and the recognition that the Obama/Biden regime (notwithstanding the Obama and corporate-stream media double-speak) has, over the last two years repackaged and accelerated the Bush/Cheney policies of war abroad and economic, legal, and political disenfranchisement at home.

Understanding that the corporate Obama/Biden regime and the scandalous Democrats and Republicans [i.e. the Republicrats] in Congress have, for all practical purposes, established and codified into law, a very real (and often not-so-subtle) police-state in this nation, must serve to strengthen the resolve of everyday people to throw off this unacceptable and intolerable situation. This “peace” prize-toting, constitutional lawyer, and purveyor of war -- Barack Obama, has despite himself, done something incredibly valuable: He has demonstrated for all conscious people to see that mere color or gender, etc. must never be the lone deciding factor(s) by which crucial choices and/or political decisions are made. He has demonstrated that superficiality is precisely that -- superficial!

Everyday people in this nation must grasp the international nature of the struggle for justice and human rights world wide. The corporate 21st century fascists are attacking everyday people around the world. Indeed, that is the nature of what is often referred to as [corporate] “globalization.” We must understand that globalization means wealth for the tiny rich elite, and austerity and pain for the vast majority of just plain everyday people -- in this nation and throughout the world. Just as the corporate elite inside this nation are about the business of economic strangulation as it attempts to pit everyday people against each other -- exactly the same objectives are practiced internationally under what is termed “globalization.”
