Dean's World

Certain words and phrases got twisted in an Orwellian fashion. For example, [the Green candidate] Cobb was in favor of "democracy" to the extent that it legitimized handover of as much control to the government as possible. Cobb was all over the phrase "we the people" but had an apparent contempt for what we the people choose in a free market. He spoke of "rights" to take income away from our neighbors. Needless to say, these radical, long discredited ideas, required something of a soft sell, it is just that I, like many people, have a little filter in my brain that forces me to listen beyond the spoken words. The published Green Party platform, particularly the "Social Justice" section, confirms that the party is little more than a friendly face to Marxism.
