Last night Keith Olbermann ran what could be his most scathing commentary on King George, my question is, why isn’t 90% of our media saying the same thing and why the HELL aren’t the American people echoing these comments and SCREAMING them from the rooftops!
Even conservatives from previous Republican administrations are trying to warn people that we are two steps away from a police state! Here’s the latest.
Folks this once great country is one step away from a dictatorship, the end of America as it has been for over 200 years! People have to get off their asses, turn the god damned reality shows off and pay attention to REAL REALITY because if they don’t they will find themselves, just as so many people that ignored their own country’s transformation, in concentration camps or as slaves.
Not that it matters in the big scheme of this fucked up county we call the ‘united states’ but I happened to notice a headline on CNN about ‘racy photos of Miss NJ’, the exact photos that supposedly almost cost her her crown. Running through the photos I was enraged by the fact that anyone even gave enough of a shit to call these racy.
The scary part is this is what America has become. Small minded people that completely ignore issues that really matter (like this piece of shit government we are being subjected to) and focus on the dumbest fucking things around, like that idiot bimbo Paris Hilton). I mean seriously, when the FUCK are you going to wake up … when they haul your ass into the gas chamber? Wake the FUCK up and pay attention to what matters.
It’s not too often I agree with Senator Arlen Spector, especially since he is the senator for my area but this week he made a major stride forward to protect the freedom of all Americans and towards the protection of the rights our forefathers fought and died for.
Spector’s bill, the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act of 2007, passed committee this week by a vote of 11 to 8 (and who are the 8 Nazis that voted against it?), assuring this bill will move to the full house and senate within weeks. Once passed this bill will restore what the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteed to all Americans, reversing the power grab, fascist Military Commissions Act that was passed by the Republican controlled congress last year.
In another blow towards the working class this time targeting our most vulnerable citizens, senior citizens, the Bush administration has told the State of Wisconsin they must shut down their highly successful SeniorCare program. This plan has been running since 2002 but this week the US Government has rejected the state’s request to extend the program effectively costing you and I billions more each year in inflated payments to drug companies and costing those that can least afford it, our senior citizens, more money in copays.
Once again OUR government has sided with big business and the Washington lobbyists that have made negotiating drug prices one step above a crime. Because of their greed and the greenbacks the lobbyists have stuffed into their ‘war chests’ we will now see a highly successful medical plan flushed down the toilet. Who wins here? Only the drug companies and the greedy bastards in Washington that most certainly are getting kickbacks, high paying positions and campaign money. Who loses? Anyone that pays taxes but at the very heart of it all are those on fixed incomes, our parents, grandparents and great grandparents!
I’m sure by now you have heard the news about Elizabeth Edwards breast cancer reappearing, something that no one ever wants to hear. But what struck me (and it seems a lot of others) is the grace, courage and dignity these two people showed in their announcement and the honest to god love they have for each other and last but not least the strength they showed today. In a world of politicians that will say or do anything to dramatize a moment or grab a headline this couple showed a lot of people today the meaning of the word loyalty and integrity. If I was an Edwards supported before now I’m an Edwards FANATIC!
