Anonymous Kills Websites, Cartels Kill Bloggers

An anonymous reader writes "While drug cartels in Mexico are disemboweling people they accuse of blogging about drug violence, Anonymous busies itself taking down Mexican government websites. With all the problems facing people in Mexico right now, including drug cartels extorting teachers for 50% of their pay and killing schoolchildren (thus shutting down the school system), Mexico's biggest oil field in terminal decline and drug cartels kidnapping busloads of people and forcing them into gladiator-style contests to the death, Anonymous' actions appear particularly petty."

Your republicans are no different from democrats, just slightly different demographics they are pandering to.

I despise Democrats, but to say that they're no different from Republicans is the height of cluelessness.

The Republican party is dedicated to the philosophy that the proper role of government is to make sure the rich get richer faster than they would without a government. And since they have to win elections, they've got the problem of getting half the population to vote against their own best interests. Unfortunately they've chosen to appeal to people's worst instincts to make their knees jerk, so we get things like the Southern Strategy (appeal to White bigots unhappy with progress in civil rights), the alliance with the religious right (appeal to sex-obsessed control freaks), and now the new Southwestern Strategy (appeal to White bigots unhappy to be losing their majority status in the southwest). And of course, we have the ignorance of the Tea Party passing as a mainstream political movement.

The reason our country has become so divided is that the Republican party has spent the past 30 years fanning the flames of the culture wars for political gain.

The reason we have nutters cheering death during political debates is that the Republican party has been encouraging their knee jerks for political gain.

Democrats are letting our country die; Republicans are killing it.
