Get the message through.

Editor,

Someone has got to get the message across to these Brown Shirts that their enemy is the corporations not the people who want to regulate them. If a true 1930's-style populism were to sweep this country, the moneyed elite would be booted from the halls of power and a real, workable coalition of progressives and self-identified "conservatives" could govern this country effectively. Unfortunately, FOX "news," hate-speech radio, and militant Christian preachers have so addled the minds of their targets that they are no longer capable of thinking straight. But these people are potentially our best friends if we can only figure out how to get through to them -- like intervening to save a meth addict from total self-destruction.
