ADULT PROBLEM: THE FEAR OF TRUTH; DISCREDITATION OF TRUTH TELLERS

By Anne W – Age 15

 Remember the story of “The Emperors New Clothes.”  It was more than just an example of how stupid people could be.  It was a social commentary.

 The way that the adult masses are kept in line is through lies and threats aimed at those who dare to tell the truth.

 Tell the truth and you are guaranteed to be accused of being a lunatic or of being something undesirable.  For instance, anyone –even if he or she is a Jew– who says the Government of Israel is wrong to intentionally blow up hundreds of children is anti-Semite.  Jews for Peace were one of the lead groups protesting the invasion of Lebanon and the bombing of the Palestinians but a pro-war group, known as AIPAC, classified all protestors as anti-Semites.

Another example is that when Cynthia McKinney questioned whether the actions/inactions of the Bush Administration led to 9/11, they called her a lunatic.  In fear and trembling, those who wanted to be seen as normal didn’t dare question the most ridiculous conspiracy theory ever invented – the one created by the Bush Administration.  Democratic minority leader Nancy Pelosi retaliated on Bush’s behalf by stripping McKinney of her seniority. We are supposed to believe that 19 hijackers, some of whom have been photographed alive and well after 9/11, brought down four airliners, destroyed the WTC, damaged the Pentagon and killed three thousand people with boxcutters.  Would someone reading this tell me why building seven fell or why no parts of a 757 were found at the Pentagon or what happened to the gold?

 One cannot accuse the Republican Party of being the suppressors of truth in America when the Democratic Party has been just as guilty if not more so of punishing their members for daring to look at the truth.

 Nancy Pelosi has been Bush’s ally in the war on truth.  She voted three times this year for bills that looked a lot like the Iraqi War Powers Resolution.  However, these bills dealt with Iran and Palestine.  She has voted at every opportunity possible to give further funding, not the servicemen and those injured by war, but to the war-profiteers.  She even got her fellow Democrats to vote to give Katrina funding to war profiteers under the lie that it was aid to the victims. 

Nancy's influence resulting in her daughter winding up the head the platform committee of the California Democratic Party.  After insulting even teenager and child in America and calling them stupid and lazy, Christine denied to them the most basic of civil rights.  The teen who spoke to the committee was treated with contempt and humiliation for daring to ask that America’s youth be treated as human beings.

 Another example of Democratic suppression involves the attacks on McKinney by the Hank Johnson campaign.  Johnson is receiving money from the Republicans, the people who are destroying our planet and the pro-war Christian groups. That last group is an oxymoron.  The election tampering was so obvious and extensive that even a blind man would have seen it.  Cynthia won the primary but the switching of votes from McKinney to Johnson in full view of voters who complained reduced her majority to a plurality.  Also voters not living in her district were allowed to vote for Johnson in the primary.  In the runoff her name was not even on the ballot in some precincts.  Where her name was on the ballot the voters had no better luck.  When they reported that their votes for McKinney were switched to votes for Johnson they were told that that was tough. The police did their part in mistreating blacks who approached the polls to vote for McKinney.

 The Democrats in Texas came up with the ultimate sell-out.  They ran a candidate who supports Bush’s policies more than the Republican in the 14th Congressional District. The Democrat opposes impeachment and is running against a Republican who has spoken in favor of impeachment.  The Democrat is opposed to gay rights and is running against a Republican who opposed the anti-gay marriage amendment.  The Democrat is eager to outlaw abortion.  The Republican voted against a bill to make it a crime to take a teenage girl across state lines to have an abortion.  The Democrat supports Bush’s wars.  The Republican always votes against war. 

 Texas Democrats in their work to get their Republican Democrat Shane Sklar elected have threatened Democrats and groups who dare to point out that Ron Paul votes against Bush more often than most Democrats in Congress.  They have to threaten the Democrats who tell the truth. That is the only way they can mislead other Democrats into voting for Shane Sklar.  No Democrat who wants to stop Bush or war would ever vote for Johnson.

I’m under 18 and Democrats who suppress truth cannot censor me or put me into fear.  I hope I never become one of the suppressors, one of the cowards who holds back the truth or one of the ignorant masses who doesn’t care.  That is too often a symptom of being an adult.  Perhaps the vote would be better placed with those of us under the age of 18.
