The American Public

I divide the American public into percentages. Somewhere between 40-60 percent will support an incumbent administration regardless of the incompetence of its actions or policies. This group has surface knowledge and minimal understanding of the effects of political fallout. Their data is usually very one-sided, but they think they're well-informed and smarter than average. They fluctuate between 40-60 because a subgroup of approximately 20 percent know nothing but will follow the other 40 percent who impress them as knowing it all. They will flip-flop and mimic whatever they see on Fox or CNN, whatever their lover believes, whatever the landlord, pastor, coworker, or anyone in their circle who sounds smarter with a bigger vocabulary. They're not picky, just fickle.

This 60 percent are the Americans who would have ignored Nixon's "crimes" had not the media drummed the notion that all good Americans wanted Nixon impeached. These are the Americans who didn't think lying about a blowjob was a big deal and laughed across the Heartland about it, unless the church lady was near. They may be a little on the slow side or pompous religious side but they believe in orgasm and lying. This group's recent 20 percent flip-floppers is evident in Bush's latest poll numbers. His hardcore base is still there but a small number of them have flipped and taken their spouses, lovers, neighbors, and coworkers with them. Not enough, however, to rid us of the republicaneocon scourge.

The next 25 percent are the hardcore; that small group that couldn't change a belief if proof to the contrary sat on their face. Usually far right but a tiny few are far left. They dream of political utopias where destiny would be manifested by fist and force until the populace is educated for thinking on its own (i.e. their way). This group is rigid and uncompromising but they place their support behind whichever party shows the slightest chance of bringing about even a fraction of their desired world order. A few are in the "hold the nose" and vote group because they're pretty sure neither party is going where they want to go, but they can state they voted and who knows, their "arian" or "ism" could be slipped in with a little executive ordering and constitutional tweaking. Neocons are the dream come true for many in this group.

The remaining 15 percent are those who understand politics and know there's a better way but their voice and ideas never gain momentum. They don't make enough noise. A few stragglers in the group maintain hope, for peace, justice, brotherhood. A few try grassroots change and other admirable methods. Many recognize the futility of believing in genuine political change but watch the process closely. Most never waiver in their beliefs. Some become expats, rant on blogs, evolve as icons for a small audience. Sometimes labeled "fringe" and marginalized, because their faith in a brotherhood, would unravel elite rule.

Unless it becomes trendy by the trend makers to oust BushCo and install a new political system (not gonna happen), that 40-60 percent and the wingnuts in the 25 percenters, minus the flip-floppers, is enough to ensure a Neocon Empire, or facsimile by any name, for decades to come. And, that's not even factoring in the high tech vote fraud the system is capable of now. The NWO arrived as planned, unnoticed and with no resistance.
