One of the classic lessons from history is from V. I. Lenin. During the early days of the Russian revolution, the communist party was in a crisis. They were a small group of people. Lenin, came up with the idea of labeling his party the ‘majority’ party. The ploy worked. The people began believing that the opinions and actions of the bolsheviks (majority) soon were assumed to be the will of the people.

We see this same scenario in the recent amnesty bill action. Senator Kennedy (from the Yankee Kennedy clan) called the opponents "gestapo". (I assume that gestapo means more state control and fascist type policies).Gestapo comment . Kennedy used the Lenin playbook and reversed the meanings of things by changing labels.

If our politicians operated like gentlemen then when they say yes it would mean yes, and no would mean no. In this current Orewellian state of affairs, there is so much spin, it is difficult to know the truth.

Free Texas, Not Iraq!
