Government intentionally divides people? (details)?

[d-dog]

I was doing my social homework and I was thinking does the U.S. government divide people intentionally? Using the media to divide people into different groups like for example occupy wall street and the tea party or democrat vs republican. And that they would do this to prevent any kind of revolution or uprising. So I guess what I'm trying to say is they keep the people divided so they fight each other instead of opposing the government itself.

sorry if this sounds stupid

opinions?

You are absolutely correct, it is the only way a group as corrupt as what we have in power now could ever escape a revolt of the people.

Wait until Obama gets his butt beat. The race card will be a flying.

It's not the government, it's the 1% behind the curtain who pulls the strings.
Democrats are pitted against Republicans, and vice versa, so they can point the finger at each another.
While the greedy handful who actually caused the financial collapse dodged all liability, made off with the loot, and dug in their trenches ("too big to fail").

Fyi, the Federal Reserve (secretively) created trillions of dollars out of thin air to save its foreign accomplices. And they made USA pay the balance. The American government should print its own money, and set its own policies. Until then, partisanship will always amount to just a smokescreen hiding the real cause of our problems.
