The Republican Conservative Corporatist Confederation

Progressive Daily Beacon Opinion Piece

"Mister Bush and the Republican Party have finally succeeded in their transformation of the United States of America. They've converted the country from a nation based upon justice, the rule of law, and individual liberty to a land of corporate-run torturers and tyrants. A place, no doubt, that their Dear Ronny Reagan would have considered 'a beacon on the hill'. In honor of this Conservative ideological success, let's change the country's name to something more fitting. After all, let's be honest, this is no longer the United States of America. It stopped being the United States of America, the moment Mister Bush and Dick Cheney shredded the Constitution. And, too, it stopped being the United States of America, the moment that the Conservative Republican movement endowed corporations with rights that exceeded those possessed by the people.

So, let's be honest. This country ... this ... this ... Republican-created embarrassment is in need of a name that more accurately encapsulates what has replaced the United States of America. And, so, without further delay: LADYS AND GENTLEMEN! Welcome to the Republican Conservative Corporatist Confederation ... WELCOME TO THE RCCC!"

I always like the Corporate Front Organization, or CFO, myself.

There's a reason for the creation of "Corporate America".

I'd say this trend began under Nixon, maybe even Johnson. Bush and Company just took it to a whole new level.

The complexities are far too abstruse for me to get into it with this little blog, and the manipulation for our enslavement began a long, long time ago, but the modern milestones can actually be easily pointed to - the establishment of "corporate personhood" in the late 1800s, birth of the "Fed" during Wilson, stratification of wealth during the great depression, and of course, Bernays.

I like that name too. It fits right in with the corporate names we now have for the major stadiums, and even the Pebble Beach Crosby Pro-Am golf tourney became the AT&T. Why not a corporate name for a country.

Haha - that's excellent, we could even have a rotating brand name for it all. This week we could be the Colgate Palmolive Cooporative and next week the Dupont Dominion. It works!

It has an officious ring to it.
