successful yet accessible trusting white guy w/ a trace of southern accent (clinton) - check
commission an ominous, stirring, original soundtrack (inconvenient truth) - check
well polished production (various) - check
bumper stickers (f350) spoken with iambic pentameter (james lipton) - check
"...before it's too late" (left behind series) - check
bite-sized for american attention span (4:39) - check
stay vague to stay on message - check
while pointing out failed policies, under no circumstances do you associate it with the face of a minority (can accidentally trigger white guilt & undermine the actions) - check
minimize eye-contact headshots (esp of hitler youth); this can only come from the narrator - check
use perceived ironic devices with 'gotcha' turn-of-phrase
speak slow enough to be understood, but not so slow as to allow for rumination over each item; remember, we're creating a narrative - check
use perfunctory - not saturated - 'american' imagery: lady liberty, god, flag

of course, have this all produced by a group with a polyentendre intelligent name

looking for classic NE singletrack
I'm just amazed that they were able to get just about *all* of the right-wing's wackjob propaganda in that one short piece. Climate-change denial, cap and trade, energy efficiency, wind/solar power, factory regulations, worker's rights and social programs, all touched on briefly.

my point is irrespective of side (besides: neocons need some semblance of big gov't - expressed as military industrial complex - in order to exist, but they are loathe to admit it)

and while we've come a long way since triumph des willens, it's still plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

I wasn't referring the hypocrisy, although the fact that bush was responsible for the largest increase in size and scope in history is almost hilarious.

I was referring to the whole idea that neo-conservitaves don't base any of their arguments on facts or statistics. They base them off of emotional I love freedom and I hate Obama tirades. Even if this "freedom" is allowing their boss to replace them with a ten year old in china.

Front Range, dude...
Define "Want America to fail"...

I suspect those who hide behind the military industrial complex do so in relation to a phallic inferiority complex.
