I saw the documentary "Citizen Koch" last night, and was sick all over again.

Sick.....because Koch and ALEC and American Crossroads.....operate in the light of day, chipping away at what little remains of the Great Society Programs.

Sick.....because in some ways, the Koch's have been enabled by Democrats...those Democrats who have stored their backbones in mothballs on the way to the bank.

Sick.....because truly, the ultra-conservative, anti-worker, anti-union, Koch led movement, is a cancer on our society.

When the DVD of this film comes out, I am buying several copies to distribute for round-the-clock showings.

Sick and disgusted all over again. I have lost hope, and with all of this Chained CPI crap-ola, think Obama and company fell for the shell game and set us up for the same kind of losses in 2014 that we had in 2010.

totally clueless about who they are and their agenda. And by the time the 'deer in the headlight' crowd wakes up, it will be too late. Most will be living in some form of an Ayn Rand / John Birch theocratic dystopia saying WTF, how did this happen.

I would never intentionally sit and watch something I knew ahead of time was going to make me sick and give up hope.

You need a new hobby.
