Even Dr. Seuss had a hidden political agenda. See here Grover Norquist comes to mind with his agenda of maintaining a tax free environment for the very rich and for large corporations. .To read about his Americans for Tax Reform, click here.
When G W Bush was president, the world wondered what his real agenda might be. Was it to get revenge for his father? Was it Bush getting talked into it for Cheney's hidden agenda for Haliburton. Six billion dollars is still not accounted for out of Iraq. While American lives were being lost, others were shamelessly raking in huge amounts of money, over-charging for services rendered to keep the war functioning.
What is the real agenda of Roger Ayles and Fox News?. It certainly cannot be seen by intelligent persons as being fair and balanced news presentation.. What is Mitch McConnell's agenda? Does he truly believe that saying 'no' to everything Obama tries to do for the country will make Obama fail and the Republicans get re-elected?
In order to keep agendas hidden, one must learn to keep the focus on other than themselves. Obfuscation then is practiced by the media who falls prey to being led away from the real focus.
There is strength in numbers only when those numbers have the same agenda. That is some of why unions were started. Today, unions are vulnerable targets because many became too powerful and stopped serving their members as much as they served their corrupt leaders.
There will always be corruption and corrupt leaders. Despite this, it is imperative that we look towards our leaders for their agendas and vote out those who clearly do not have the betterment for our people, especially in the middle and poor classes, as their agenda. Anyone who has pledged to Grover Norquist must fall in that category.
