Thanks for putting that out there for people to consider. There are way too many complacent people out there who are just watching our freedom slowly erode under the neo conservative regime..perhaps without really understanding what is truly happening here.
Cultish behavior in politics!? Ben pulls back the curtain on a well known secret. Yes, many people know and/or suspect something’s up, but the scary part is that the majority doesn’t know or just doesn’t care. Ben’s delivery could use a little more rhythm and enunciation at times, but the piece benefits from his laid back tone. Think that youth are out of the loop and only care about the latest video game? This piece, with its rocking good music, gets even the most apathetic thinking.
Ben2 presents his opinions on this weighty topic of neoconservative "cults" in an upbeat and engaging manner. My enjoyment of his piece may be colored by the fact that I share his concern about the power neoconservatives have over our government. His concern that President Bush may just be manipulating other people's belief in Biblical prohesies like Armageddon to "justify his politics" is not an original theory, but an important one.
My one criticism is that Ben needs to enunciate a little more clearly at times.
The music definitely helped move this piece along, and the credit notes say '"It was all me". If that's the case, Ben2 is quite a musician, as well.
This short piece about the neo-conservative movement stands out because it is done by youth. It is refreshing to hear a young voice talk about the current political situation. This piece would be good to air if only because it brings a freshness to what has already been said about this particular topic. Great music.
