I hope people are watching "V" very closely and paying attention to what they see, because the writers are doing a great job of showing us liberalism in action!
A couple of episodes ago, when a typhoon devastated a small country and human governments weren't able to quickly respond in bringing its power grid back up, the Visitors stepped in with their advanced technology, called "blue energy," and saved the day. Was this done because they "are of peace, always"? Of course not - eventually humans would become dependent on blue energy, and the V's could take it back to exert control.
Then, in last night's episode, we saw demonstrated the liberal's use of the "straw man" (the intentionally created crisis), or in this case, the straw woman (straw lizard?). Anna needed to do something to incite mankind to hate the Fifth Column (anti-Anna Visitors, similar to anti-Obama conservatives) as much as she does, so she attacked her own daughter and told the world the FC did it, and if that wasn't enough, said they no longer feel safe on Earth so they'll leave! Predictably, people and governments begged the V's to stay, and agreed to go after the FC, including the media guy who has been constantly talking about how strong his journalistic ethics are, but continues to opine and spin his stories (pure fiction there, eh?) in support of the V's.
Next week is the season finale - stay tuned!
