How Our Liberty Is Threatened By Capitalist

When protecting the interest of the United States at home or abroad it is a good thing to remember that the Republican party has a number of capitalist in it. Capitalist believe that making money is a noble purpose and believe it justifies depriving others of their rights. They will even sacrifice their own rights for it. In other words everything has a price. Here is commentary that accounts just such a case.

Direct United States government involvement into Guatemala, the CIA's first covert operation in Latin America, in one of the many so-called banana republics, began in 1947 instigated by the United Fruit Company. They used their high priced Washington lobbying firm and a considerable public relations campaign which convinced the American public that Guatemala had become a Soviet satellite. Thomas G. Corcoran, a high powered lawyer, proposed the idea of a CIA overthrow of Arbenz. His like-minded associate, General Walter Bedell Smith, Director of Central Intelligence (from October 1950 to February 1953 under Truman and Under Secretary of State under Eisenhower) took the idea of a CIA overthrow back to his boss, Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles. The Dulles brothers, Allen and John were previously partners in the law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell that collected fees from United Fruit Company with their big acquisition of the Guatemalan and other Central American railroads.

To be fare the communist threat was very real and is still very real. Cuba became communist nation in 1959 and exported communism throughout South America. They continue to do so today. Still overthrowing a democratically elected government and installing a dictator is questionable at best. I am afraid everyone learns from mistakes. It is terrible that so many had to pay for our overzealousness.

I brought this article up to show that capitalist Republican are also a threat to the freedom of the United States and need to be kept in check. President Bush is clearly a champion for capitalist and has acted to benefit their action. Congress has kept him in check to at least a passable extent though I would like it to be better. Republicans are a thief to Democrats murderer.
