Doesn't it just burn your ass ?

[blues90]

For many reasons I just can't get it out of my mind that here we have politicians and world leaders and complete criminal scum like bush and cheney , condi , rummy and Alberto G as well as many , many others who sit in a life of luxury and position taking their sweet time while so very many people suffer and die by the thousands every minute of everyday .

Whether it is the old or young , poor or weak , troops or so called enemy , black , white , yellow , red or green , who made it so if you believe in any god that those who have it all are any closer or more prised than the rest of the life on this planet ?

This is the mindset that completely escapes me . It renders me sad and it lites me up angry to a rage yet we seem to be unable to do anything to ever change this . Many don;t even recogize it as an abomination .

I can't write it off as fair or un-fair , these words do not even come close to what this truely is .

This is now the 21st century which really started out with a bang right out of hell , if you believe in hell . We have not advanced one single inch and have learned nothing other than to accept things as the way they are .

2. George W. Bush was given the presidency by the SOTUS. We were fucked from day one.

However, the gouging and fucking over of all of us by the corporate rich is what's making people take notice, sadly, not the occupation of Iraq.

Yet, we'll take all the attention and tell all who will listen, and there are many, the truth of what has happened.

And, yes, it's a pisser when these folks are still sipping champagne and holing up in luxury digs spending thousands on CALLIGRAPHY for invitations, and they are so out of touch they don't know they're actively losing the political support of anyone who works for a living.


You know, the other 99%. :-)

4. There was a classic photoshopped pic of the SCOTUS in clown suits

that was absatively posolutely hysterically funny. Any DUers know where that jpg or whatever is should bring it back out for another round of laughter.

3. It makes you wonder

Is this all we are, a warring species with a thin veneer of civility?

I remember the hope of the sixties. Not just the obvious things like civil rights, the space program, social awareness, etc.

But there was a feeling of optimism, that there were major changes coming. Technological changes, new understandings of other cultures and real efforts made to benefit ALL of mankind.

The extended period of peace gave us a chance to discover that we needed to re-examine our priorities.

Some were obviously afraid and even hostile to change, but they were never the majority view. They were loud. But never very influential.

Now, I see none of that optimism for the future. Or very little. Powerful interests seem to have a stranglehold on real change.

Now, we're back to the wars. Or rather, the use of military to solve what are really diplomatic, social and technical problems.

The 21st century. Already it's looking like a complete undoing of the real gains made during the 20th century.

5. Makes you also wonder why some people in our own party are so hellbent

on sending some of the same old same old that pull some of the same old crap the Repbulics do back to Congress time and again. So much for change as long as the Democratic Party elects to play the same games.

6. I'm getting sick of that

Yes, Waxman, Conyers, Feingold, and Kucinich are doing a fine job. But who are supporting them?

Whenever I hear of some otherwise well-respected Dems voting against, say the Redeployment Bill in the House, I think what the HELL do these people have to lose?

A handful of freeper-types in their constituency? Do these Dems NOT look at the polls? NOT look at the results of the mid-terms?

WHAT is their motivation for screwing the MAJORITY that got them elected?

8. Good question

I look at both the parties as some sort of secret society , they either got in by money or time or stolen votes . Outside of a few that you named the rest are useless .

It's as if they are in a closed bubble and safe within their tomb .

They could at the very least just say what their true intentions are out loud and quit the scewing around with games and boring meaningless speeches . At least people could prepare themselves for the worst .

7. Politicians and their

corporate masters can all kiss my yankee ass!

Hardworking Americans are the backbone of this country and only hardworking americans should be in control of running the business of America.


When will the Revolution begin? Whats it going to take before we finally say enough?

If you piss on me, I will shit on you!


Fuck em all! And by all I mean, politicians, corporate gangsters and religious zealots....

9. I think people have learned that...

...in order to have peace, BOTH sides have to lay down their weapons. We will never have peace by simply laying down OURS. And, yes, that truth IS quite sobering.
