The more I read, the more I'm convinced that the radical right wing republican evangelists will stop at nothing in their attempt to replace American democracy with Italian style fascism where the government and corporations are one in the same, and all power goes to the rich and to the far right. Look at the attempt to censor the CBS film about Reagan's life even before it airs (editors note:  11/02/03 - they succeeded - CBS has yanked it from their lineup and has moved it to Showtime and has reserved the right to share the final cut of the already finished miniseries), because Reagan is the Lenin of the Far Right, the spiritual leader of the Republican attempt to take over America and abolish the new Deal, Great Society, and anything else that supports the rights of the individual over those of the corporations and State. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 6:05 PM Subject: [GNN] GoreCast: October 31, 2003 > ----------------------------------------------------- > Gore to address terrorism, civil liberties November 9 > ----------------------------------------------------- > GNN News - - Former Vice President Gore will give his third major speech > on the Administration's response to terrorism on Sunday, November 9th at > the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington D.C.
