OK, so there I've said it and I'm not sorry for saying it!

Ya know the sad thing is that it's not the young who forgot how Goebbels and the boys took control, it's the people who fought them tooth and nail and died fighting them that for the most part voted for the bushistas. It's the greatest generation and the children of the greatest generation that "elected" and "re-elected" these maniacs. It's the people who quietly marched off to war in Vietnam because it was "the right thing to do", and are now sending their kids to do the same in Iraq. We've gotten here because of the "good intentions" of good god fearing, queer hating, racist, but oh so patriotic flag waving, yellow ribbon wearing americans, who listen to Rush Limbaugh's every word and watch Bill O'Reilly spew his venom for big paychecks and whose politics are shaped by CNN and FOX as they sit in their comfy livingrooms drinking their cheap ass beer and watching NASCAR, NFL, and NBA megamillionaires entertain the masses, but won't take a stand like say Muhammad Ali did and say enough! It's the middle class investors who when big oil lies to congress can't get too excited because their portfolios have grown fat from the dividends of their investments in big oil and in the weapons to kill people industry. Wake up america, until we stop sending these pricks to congress and the senate, until we stop buying products who use people like Paul Harvey as a mouthpiece, until we stop driving 20-30 miles a day to and from work alone in a gas guzzler, until we just stop all the crap we've been doing and thinking "Oh, it's OK, I mean how can I make a difference, just me riding the bus won't make a difference, just me investing in socially conscious companies won't make a difference, just me not buying a posture pedic sleep system with my own computerized sleep number, just me, just me, just me!!!!!!!!!! Well, folks, unless you're writing politicians, newsmakers, media princesses and princes, businessmen and women everyday and making them very nervous about being the next bastard hauled before a grand jury, in addition to living a life consistent with your politics, even you (we) are not doing enough...and that's why we're in the mess we find ourselves in today, discussing what we should have been screaming at the tops of our collective lungs during the 2000 election, and from now until the next "election"..if free elections are even possible anymore. Our job is not to convince ourselves, it is to convince the 4 out of 10 poor bastards who still believe the crap that's coming from the pols. And in the end, and hopefully, this manical clown circus is coming to an end, when these thugs are out of office and in exile, we can all start by putting things back together. Maybe...hopefully...and the way we should have been doing it all along. Soap box safely stowed for landing...
